BLINDFIRE ran well in defeat against male opposition last time and a repeat of that performance back in same-sex company will put her right in the firing line. Fellow 3yo fillies TEMPRANILLO and LOVABLE have fewer miles on the clock and won't need to improve much to get into the picture. Class-droppers SHE'S ALL MINE and KIA KAHA should make their presence felt in this grade off reduced ratings. MY DEAR FRIEND is another to consider on her handicap debut.
