STAR BLAZE (5) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 2. 5 lengths from the winner in second over 5f at this track. Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. DUCHESS DI (2) was close to a win before a break, starting favourite at the latest appearance and finishing third at this track. Expect she has come on over the break. Has ability and can hit the ground running this campaign. NATIONAL BLISS (4) is a first-starter by What A Winter from Circle Of Speed who has in turn produced the winner of a black type. EMPRESS WU (1) has been in the money nine times including when resuming last start on January 29 when third over 5f at this track. Has a solid record here with eight top-three finishes to her name. Among the chances.
