Prize Money: $92,250

ALI SHUFFLE (1) aims to remain unbeaten after winning all three career starts so far.

ARGENTINE TANGO (4) finished runner-up to the top pick on debut tackling track and trip. Won at Pontefract next time before placing second at Carlisle on Monday. Dangerous. SAUCY JANE (7) was an impressive 4.75L winner at this venue attempting the journey two starts back. Finished a respectable fourth in the Listed Marygate Fillies Stakes at the York Dante Festival eight days ago. May bounce back. ARTISTA (5) is another who secured a first victory here.

Had two starts to date. At big odds at debut, 2nd of 12 at this track on April 24 over 1000m, 0.5 len behind Tropical Dreamer carrying 54kg at $41. Second-up 5th of 8 at Chester on May 7 over 1000m, 5 len behind Ali Shuffle carrying 56.5kg at $9.50. Comes into this in ordinary form. No easier here and others rate better.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, of 7 at Newmarket (Rowley) on April 15 over 1000m, 5 len behind Harry's Girl with 58kg at $4.30. Second-up favourite; ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.5 len at Musselburgh May 2 over 1000m defeating Kodigara with 58kg at $1.60. Fitter and worth following up.
