PLAY SMARTER WEST BALBOA is unexposed and found only the talented Stage Star too good in a Grade 2 event when last seen. As such, a mark of 127 could prove lenient, and she takes preference over recent winner Coquelicot, who should go well again under a positive ride. Whitehotchillifili is another one to consider.
