Verdict

STONE BEAR made it two wins from her last three starts here recently and this strong-travelling daughter of Kodi Bear is fancied to go in again now dropped to the minimum trip. Baby Basma rates a big threat though if, as expected, building on her comeback fourth here after an absence, while Plushy is another to note in an intriguing handicap.
