KOZEM (7) could only manage fifth two runs back then improved last start when she did her best work late but found a couple better over 6f at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so she is likely to play a big role. A NEW PEACE (1) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when sixth over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in three starts over this course and distance. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. BOOTSY'S MERLOT (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fifth after being in the firing line on the corner. Faces an easier assignment so she is one of the main contenders. DAME MAUDE CHARDIN (4) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2. 75 lengths, over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
