Progressive; scored comfortably at Perth most recently; interesting on handicap debut

0-11 in Britain but is attractively treated on best form and this new trip may suit
8	Queens Venture Bay J:Miss Heidi Palin(7) T:Dan Skelton	J:Miss Heidi Palin(7) T:Dan Skelton	157	—	744114	107	121	93	22d	—	—	+16	30.3	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Perhaps in need of a break last time; rested a few weeks since and remains of interest

Second in this race in 2020 and went one better in 2023; out of sorts this year

Mostly consistent but posted her worst effort when well-held fifth in this race last year

Well beaten over fences on sole run this year; returns from another layoff; market helpful
3	Eureka Creek Bay J:Joe Anderson(3) T:Emma Lavelle	J:Joe Anderson(3) T:Emma Lavelle	166	—	3322-5	114	121	-	41d	—	—	+11	17.7	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Good chance provided best chase form is transferred back to hurdles
10	Belles Benefit Bay J:Harry Bannister T:Ben Case	J:Harry Bannister T:Ben Case	155	p	16U214	103	118	101	11d	—	—	+17	24.2	5.00/1	20/1 5%
Ordinary mare who is in form but faces a difficult task in this field
