Forecasts

Moonlight Escape (6/4), Masons Daughter (2/1), Champayne Lady (9/4), Elzaa (16/1), Flemen Majic (33/1), Ardlea Rose (100/1), She's Apache (100/1), Chosen Flower (100/1), Tremendous (100/1), Feisty Madam (100/1)

CHAMPAYNE LADY can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking over hurdles by going one better than when finishing second here last time out in this opening mares maiden hurdle. The selection should appreciate the forecast underfoot conditions and can get the better of Moonlight Escape who has placed on her last two outings over hurdles while bumper winner and hurdling newcomer Masons Daughter can finish third.
