BELLE OF THE BALL (1) was well fancied last time but found one better at this track (Dirt), finishing 1.3 lengths adrift at the end of 6f. Yet to miss the placings at this trip. Worth another chance. COOLCALM COLLECTED (6) is a promising galloper who won at her only run last prep six-and-a-half months ago over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has won when fresh from a lay-off in the past. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Among the leading chances. BLOME (4) has returned in good shape this campaign. Opened with a second at Parx (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 2.25 lengths as public elect last time out over 6f at Parx (Dirt). Going up a level this time but she is good enough to play a major role. DUCKPHAT (3) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 7f. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
