Verdict
Point-to-point winner Grace Tara is of some interest partnered by Tony McCoy for her debut under Rules. Noir Girl is also worthy of consideration despite a penalty for scoring at Worcester in August. But MELBOURNE LADY returned from a lengthy absence with a good effort at Perth last month and she gets the nod given the remainder with experience were all beaten a distance on their respective debuts. Martha's Benefit is a half-sister to a winner over hurdles and is preferred to the other newcomer Taniokey.
