4 TIMEFORM VIEW: HESTINA clearly isn't the most straightforward, but her quirks may help in some regards as she is the type to stay ahead of the assessor (remains well handicapped on Flat ability). Wishfull Dreaming is solid at this level, while Zulu Oscar landed a notable gamble on stable debut last month and can remain competitive.
