WAR GODDESS had been showing signs she was ready to win before obliging over C&D a fortnight ago and, while the margin of victory was a slender one, there's every possibility the filly will have more to offer and so a 5lb rise isn't certain to halt her. Multiviz wasn't too far behind her on that occasion and is fairly weighed to give this a crack if getting a clean passage while previous C&D scorer Brokopondo ran eye-catchingly over two-miles recently and merits respect now dropped in trip. New Direction clearly enjoys this place and having been caught close home last time out, he looks sure to build on his strong record at this venue. Black Label and Bittern are others that might have a say in the home straight. 1. War Goddess 2. New Direction 3. Brokopondo
