FRANCILIEN confirmed the promise of her debut second by winning over course and distance last time, beating subsequent winner PALACE DANCER who re-opposes on 1kg better terms. There shouldn't be much between the pair though preference is for the former who would've come on appreciably in seven weeks since she was last seen. Hard-knockers RAINING RUBIES, MIX THE MAGIC, GIMME THE FLAME and SOUTHERN STYLE have the form and experience to keep those rivals honest. Unexposed WE WILL ROCK YOU ought to fare better over this distance and is dangerous to discount.
