JImmy The Rich writes that Benguela Cove from the Erico Verdonese stable takes her place in Race 2.
The daughter of Querari produced a promising debut effort over this course and distance.
The manner in which she finished off her race that day caught the eye.
The daughter of Querari would have come on with the run under her belt and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should take a power of beating.
Trainer Ashley Fortune saddles Abalus in Race 8. She was far from disgraced when finishing third behind stable companion Bard Of Avon last time.
She has won once, finished second twice and third once from seven starts over this distance.
She is well-weighted in this contest and should give the males a run for their money.
