QUEVANO stayed on to finish 4th of 16 on debut as 2yo and would have come on with that experience. She hasn't been seen since and is open to any amount of improvement after a 560-day absence, so it may pay to follow her progress. MAGIC CARPET RIDE and WINTER BELLE are better than their last starts suggest and they could make their presence felt on earlier form. Newcomer TROMBOLINES needn't be special to have a say in the outcome either - watch the betting.
