An apprentice plate, so tactics will play a part. MIDNIGHT HOUR showed good improvement in her latest start and could hit the bullseye. WINTER BELLE has some fair form and from a good draw could be a threat. WINTER BLESSING is very consistent and is overdue a first success. BELLIGERENT is improving and clearly not out of it. CARTEL QUEEN might play a minor role. KALI BWANA is drawn out wide but should be involved with the finish once again.
