R KATIEBUG (9) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Turf) over 7½f, beaten a nose. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and three minor placings from six starts. Bold showing expected. LADY MERCEDES (2) turned things around last start and landed the prize by one length over 1m at Ellis Park (Turf). It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. STARINA (12) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when third over 1m1/4f at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 2.25 lengths after making up late ground. Likely improver with strong prospects. CHURCH PEW (6) registered a strong win two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when fifth over 7½f at this track, beaten 1.4 lengths. Well placed and can make amends.
