HAZEL BABY (11) improved sharply on her eighth two starts back at Sandown-Hillside with success over 7f at Sandown-Lakeside three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. ANAHITA (2) ran below her best last start when beaten 4 lengths into seventh from a wide draw over this course and distance. Strong record with Beau Mertens in the irons, including a win. Leading contender. GALA QUEEN (4) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fourth. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. SHADHAVAR (13) battled away fairly last time when sixth over 5½f at this track. Likely to relish the extra ground and gets chance to show best.
