OPTIVA STAR is on a handy mark and would have gone close with a clear run at Lingfield last time, so he's worth taking a chance on for all that Twilight Dancer was a comfortable winner over C&D last time. Lahina Bay had been in good form prior to an excusable run 16 days ago, so she's also worth respect.
