Megalopolis Racing Circuit entrant by capable New Zealand sire Savabeel out of the well bred Graded placed, Stakes winning Oasis Dream mare Infection, yet to race here and would need to lift to trouble these. To be ridden by Z Ayya from gate 19. Nice filly who has done a good job so far but I think this race may be too deep for her. ODDS 31/1

Unbeaten Midas entry by obscure French sire Chineur out of the Medicean mare Chloe, yet to be tested here and in this type of field. To be ridden by A Scott from gate 20. Has done all asked of her and impressively at that but this much harder, looks an interesting runner. ODDS 21/1
