CITY SELECTIONS Lucky Ava seems to save her best efforts for jockey Martin Dwyer, who has won on the filly three times now, and they are reunited after her half-length third here over C&D under Ben Curtis. She could get involved in the finish, but preference is for SENECA CHIEF, who was only beaten a length in a better race on turf last month and runs off the same mark now. With two wins from four starts over C&D, he may well prove too strong in the finish, with front-runner Charming Kid possibly holding on for third. Lucky Ava
