BALQAA's good run of form came to a halt on her latest start at Newcastle but that was her fourth run inside the space of 30 days and, following a subsequent break of almost two months, the 6-y-o is taken to get back on track with a fifth career success. Port Noir has a strong chance of reversing recent C&D placings with Cerulean Summer on these revised terms and she is feared most. Curtiz is also shortlisted.
