CITY SELECTIONS Although PUNDA MARIA was no match for the winner last time out at Leicester, the daughter of Oasis Dream relished the step back in trip to arguably record a career-best effort. She pulled four lengths clear of the third and may be underestimated off an unchanged mark of 62. Mcqueen has made the frame on his last two starts and rates as the most immediate danger. Shifter remains unexposed and is worthy of consideration.

PLAY SMARTER SHIFTER improved when second in a 4-runner novice at Yarmouth last time and, with another step forward likely, she gets the vote ahead of McQueen, who is a bit more exposed but could improve for first-time blinkers. Punda Maria arrives in form and will be dangerous if left alone in front.
