Arctic Piper (11/4), Sansrisk (9/2), Royal Hollow (6/1), Cottesloe Sunshine (8/1), Joueuse Royale (8/1), Farfromnowhere (9/1), Amanha (10/1), Holly Brook (10/1), Shaving (16/1), Twentyfourcarrot (20/1), Her Name Is Noelle (40/1), Maid Of Kildare (66/1), Takemeuptocarlow (125/1)

The suggestion is Henry de Bromhead point recruit JOUEUSE ROYALE, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Cottesloe Sunshine showed enough when third in a maiden hurdle on debut to think she could make her presence felt in a race like this, while Farfromnowhere is another interesting recruit from the pointing field.
