Course-winner RUBY ISLAND is fairly handicapped on the best of her form, and makes most appeal with this longer trip expected to suit. She'll be best suited if this is a truly-run race, as will Fox's Fancy who is stepping back in distance following a highly encouraging handicap debut last season. The improving Lavida Adiva could be a threat to all if continuing her current upward trajectory.
