The King's Steed landed a double over a mile on the all-weather earlier this year but MOI AUSSIE was well beaten over the latter trip here last week. However, Mick Appleby’s mare had won over course and distance before that and gets another chance back over 7f today. Swiss Cross and La Isla Bonita have been thereabouts without threatening to win lately and could be in the mix but De Vegas Kid and Wild Acclaim were both due to run here yesterday.
