PAW VITALI (7) settled back from out wide but wound up hard into the minor money, finishing 7 lengths from the winner (22.99) at this track in T3 RSTW. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from seven attempts. One of the leading chances. DON'T CONFESS (5) missed the hat-trick last start when eighth and beaten 4 lengths (22.80) last time at this track. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Bold showing expected. FADE OUT (6) led all the way last time out to score by a neck (22.50) at this track in a T3 RSTW over 390m. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. CAN SHE YAP (2) is not to be discarded.

Finished in the minors at big odds last time when third (22.83) at this track, making it two placings on end. Drawn awkwardly. Will need plenty of luck.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in her races. The latest effort was a 10 length sixth over 525m at The Meadows. Hard to recommend this time.
