Verdict: MISTY HEART is a strong pick. She could capitalise if the leaders go too fast and kicked off her career with a success. One Small Victory rates the main danger.

Comment: Held on her debut in Horseshoe Indianapolis maiden special weight over 5f (wearing blinkers) at 10-1 last August; back from an absence here; didn't have the best of luck last time and has to be considered.

Comment: Creditable effort (went off 13-1) to finish third in a claimer (muddy track) when dropped back to this trip (Thistledown) two months ago; claiming tag drops to $4k (from $7.5k); clear chance as boasts the best speed figure posted by this field in the last 12 months and her last run was encouraging.
