Trainer Sharon Kotzen sends out Blue Palace in Race 4. She is better than her last start over 1400m on this course.
She reared leaving the start and cast a shoe in running. She finished 1.5 lengths behind Vintage Crystal in her penultimate run.
She is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish.
She tries the cheek pieces for the first time and jumps from a handy draw of two. She drops in class and may be the one to side with.
Noodsberg from the Justin Snaith stable takes her place in Race 2 and she is the best bet on the programme.
She showed very good improvement when second in her last start over 1400m on this course.
She was slow into stride but raced from a handy position and stayed on at the finish. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked.
The daughter of Vercingetorix should love the rise to 1600m, and she should go one better.
