Verdict

WOOLLEN (8) will get back into the field no matter how small it is but then can find the line. She is back a furlong for this but gets a more experienced rider aboard. She did take on Class 1 company two weeks ago so this seems much easier. It is pretty thin. SPECTACULAR STAR (2) finally gets the blinkers on which could make a big difference. This looks the right trip too. POLENS (6) has had quite a few goes around and not placed too many times. At least will save all the ground here. ZOYSIA (3) has taken on some richer maidens recently. Did sit a lot closer in running last outing. CHRISLYN (5) can be quite inconsistent. Fitness will not be an issue for her. Just has to finish one of these races off.
