ENGLISH MISTRESS would not be winning out of turn but will need things to go her way from a tricky No 12 gate. Like that rival, DOUBLE DASH, LAVENDER BAY and POCKET DIAL have both the form and experience to play leading roles. However, it could pay to follow the progress of improving LOTUS ISLAND who caught the eye when a fast-finishing 2nd over track and trip last time. She was dropped out from the widest draw on that occasion before clocking the fastest 400m-to-finish sectional. EXQUISITE has improved with each start but won't be done any favours from the widest gate.
