If fully tuned-up for this GREEK FLOWER will have every chance. She failed to beat a rival home over 5f here on her final start of 2024, but she boasts plenty of solid form at this course, including when second to the progressive Big Gossey off a 2 lb higher mark last summer. Though winless since taking a 5f handicap here in October 2023, Saturn Seven is lurking on a dangerous mark and she performed with credit on several occasions at this track last season. Brigid's Cloak also merits respect.
