ANAHITA was a game-in-defeat 2nd in a stronger race over this trip last month and a repeat of that effort under a 4-point penalty should suffice in her peak outing. SURPRISE PARTY is held on that form but weighted to pose more of a threat on 2.5kg better terms. NICCI'S LAW bounced back to form with a last-start victory at a lower level but remains competitive under a penalty. LITTLEMISSSPLENDID and PLAY WITH FIRE are closely matched with that rival and weighted to turn the tables on their last-start conqueror.
