MANAGE XPECTATIONS (2) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third when she did her best work late at the end of 1m at Ellis Park. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. BEACH BUNNY (6) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1m at Ellis Park (Turf), finishing second and beaten 2.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. MUSTANG LADY (7) was among the placegetters first time out on turf at Ellis Park but missed the frame last time, again on turf, when finishing a 4 length fourth at Ellis Park over 1m. Will be hard to beat back to the dirt here. SUPER COSTLY (4) is a three-year-old filly who is having her first run for the Rodolphe Brisset stable. Hasn't raced since finishing in the placings at Delaware Park (Dirt) ten weeks ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but is in a nice race. Shapes as a top-three chance.
