NICE AS PIE (2) has really found form this campaign scoring four wins on end, including an effortless 6 lengths win over 6f in Listed grade at Turfway Park (Synthetic) last time. Rates as the testing material again. NIKI NINE DOORS (11) had a bit on her rivals last time out, scoring an impressive 3 lengths maiden win over 5½f at Keeneland (Turf). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Abel Cedillo was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Big chance to go back-to-back. Group 3 placegetter HOT BEACH (16) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 4 lengths at Listed level at Keeneland (Dirt) over 5½f. Will find this much easier. Well placed and should be in the finish. LET THEM WATCH (1) failed to threaten when fresh from a lay-off last time out, beaten 10 lengths into fifth over 5f in stakes class at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic). Should be poised just off the lead. Can feature in the finish.
