HOPE ROAD (7) resumed over 7f in the G1 Derby City Distaff Stakes at this track (Dirt) last time out and finished second, beaten 3 lengths. When resuming run. Ready to find peak form this time. TWO SHARP (9) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1m at this track six months ago. Should be prominent from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. BRIGHTWORK (1) is back after a break of eight months. Looking to emulate her win at Saratoga when returning from a lay-off last prep. Has a strong when resuming record, scoring on three occasions from three runs. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. MINK'S PALACE (8) was too good when resuming in an easier race over 6f at Listed level at this track (Dirt) last start, scoring by half a length. Record at this trip is excellent and is among the better chances.
