BLOOD OF EDEN is better than her last start over 1600m on this course. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. Her form prior to that outing was good. The daughter of Heavenly Blue should have no issues with the rise to 2000m and the blinkers have been removed. In this type of field, she can shed her maiden tag. SHADOWLINE'S last two starts have been fair. The daughter of Rafeef has scope and she would not be a shock winner. COOL REGGAE ran a good race when third over 1600m on this course last time. She raced from a handy position and stayed on at the finish. If repeating that effort in this field, she should be involved at the finish. GREENSIDE GIRL finished 1.7 lengths behind the third choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and she may have to settle for the same result.
