Habanero Star has won four times on Turf, all on fast ground, but has a poor all-weather record. LETHAL TOUCH (NAP) keeps going up in the weights without winning but her two latest runs here and at Chelmsford give her the edge. She easily holds Defilade on her last run while Supersonique's neck defeat at Chelmsford came in a seller. Come To Pass did a bit better at Southwell and won't need much more in a poor finale.
