Verdict

TYPHOON LUCY (11) lightly raced mare who has charged home to score in her last two start on this track. Looks the one to beat again. LOLLAPALOOZA (2) was outclassed in the G1 Proisir Plate when fresh but took no harm when carting the field up & just missing out last start. Nicely placed here. MISS UNDERSTOOD (6) scored two wins with a bit up her sleeve before running on ok from well back last time. The wetter the better. FREE BIRD (7) has a win and placing from 3 first-up runs. Good efforts from handy spots at end of last prep. Must respect. CRACKERCOL (8) got well back & plugged away when fresh but has never figured fresh. Trentham win last December was smart. Consider.
