LOVE ACTUALLY (3) started at 9/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths at this track (Turf) over 1m after being in the firing line on the corner. Hard to beat in this suitable race. VALIANT HOPE (5) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 3.5 lengths away in second over 5f at this track (Synthetic). Top chance this line-up. A GREAT DATE (6) finished midfield on her return from a lay-off last start over 7½f at this track (Turf). Will take a lot from that hitout so she looks sure to run well. BRISA VELOZ (8) resumes from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 5f at this track (Turf). Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
