Experienced on the turf, Oh So Kool and Madam Mayem make their Polytrack debuts with the former looking to have the slightly better form. Arowana has raced exclusively on Polytrack and was runner-up over 6f here last time, although first-time blinkers didn't stop her edging left in the closing stages. CRYSTALLUS looks the safest option. She found one too good when runner-up over C&D last month but the third-placed horse has since won and a repeat of that form should be good enough to take this.
