ANGELENA BALLERINA won over track and trip on Monday beating Sofias Number One, Bashama and Chapter Nine in the process. She can go in again dropping back down a grade. Akarana has plenty to find with the selection on earlier running and it's hard to know what to make of Downtown Boy. He won for the first time since 2011 at 50/1 here a week ago and has a penalty to carry today. Monsieur Pontaven had both Count Ceprano and Seawood behind when fourth on his latest start and could prove best of the rest.
