Verdict: CAP CLASSIQUE is expected to get the job done. She looks likely to run her race and ran with credit last time, while Di's Surprise and Alani are also respected.

Di's Surprise

Jockey: Yedsit Hazlewood Trainer: Hugh McMahon Age/Wt: 4/8-4 F: 4-15

Comment: Fair effort when beaten 4l, finishing fifth of eight last Saturday in a stakes; a previous winner here; managed three wins in her last seven outings; entitled to respect with return to this trip a plus and her peak speed figure over the past year puts her clear.

Centre Court Champ

Jockey: Mychel Sanchez Trainer: Jamie Ness Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 5/2112-

Comment: Has achieved eight wins from 28 career runs; far from disgraced (beaten 2l) in a stakes 12 months ago; been off the track a long time.

Cap Classique

Jockey: Sheldon Russell Trainer: Brittany Russell Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 526-

Comment: Proved competitive when hitting the board in a stakes in August and can be a player at this level; not beaten too far (just under 2l) in a stakes in September; returns from a layoff here; form of the trainer is a plus; strong claims if building on promise shown last time.

Miss Harriett

Jockey: Forest Boyce Trainer: Brandon McFarlane Age/Wt: 4/8-11 F: 811-

Comment: Claimed a second C&D win in September when successful by just under 4l; going for a hat-trick; returns from a break today.

Happy Clouds

Jockey: Jacqueline Davis Trainer: Ryan Gillespie Age/Wt: 5/8-11 F: 782-5

Comment: Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 8l, stumbled at the start) in January in a stakes; record over this C&D is three wins from eight runs; this is a step down in class but one to tread carefully with.

Alani

Jockey: Frankie Pennington Trainer: Michael Moore Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 13-121

Comment: Has scored over C&D; successful three times in her last five starts; good winner (Parx) three weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; can be in the mix.
