1m 209y
Going: Standard
Surface: Polytrack
Draw Advantage: NoneHYDRANGEA showed the strength of her Highveld form with a solid second-place finish on local debut. She can go on better if taking to the poly as she meets a weak field. SPIRIT OF NUNA made big improvement in her second start (so has experience on the poly) but that was before a long break. She makes her debut for a new yard and it could be a winning one if she doesn't just need it. FORGED IN ICE is another who improved when trying distance. She can only get better and rates a serious contender as well. SPRING FEVER, VENTRILOQUIST and AMBLE INN all rate money chances.
