Verdict
PETRA CELERA capitalised on a falling mark when scoring decisively at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and a penalty is unlikely to prevent a very bold follow-up bid back on turf. Monsieur Fantaisie has been running consistently well and is feared most, while Emerald Army is also of some interest.
