Raced too freely over 1m2f last time; earlier 7f/1m form makes her of strong interest

6 (7)	Rokuni Grey J:Brandon Wilkie(3) T:Christine Dunnett	J:Brandon Wilkie(3) T:Christine Dunnett	134	—	735670	61	68	68	11d	—	—	-1	5.1	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Out of form in recent weeks and failed to convince stamina-wise on previous 1m attempt
11 (6)	Azoozi Chestnut J:Luke Catton(5) T:John Butler	J:Luke Catton(5) T:John Butler	128	b	675507	55	67	51	14d	—	—	-3	2.9	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Unplaced all nine starts; new headgear tried today; considered only if lively in betting
5 (2)	Hush Puppy Brown J:Sorin Moldoveanu(7) T:Ed Dunlop	J:Sorin Moldoveanu(7) T:Ed Dunlop	135	—	53-67	62	68	43	61d	—	—	-1	4.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%

Latest qualifying run was quite promising; moves up from 7f for handicap debut
8 (1)	Princess Qajar Bay J:Joe Leavy T:Roger Teal	J:Joe Leavy T:Roger Teal	131	—	476-8	58	64	-	30d	—	—	0	2.9	7.00/1	28/1 3%
