Group 2 placegetter VENTI VALENTINE (11) impressed last time with a 6 length win at Listed level at this track (Dirt) over this journey. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. New York Stakes winner DIDIA (4) broke through for a win last start when second up from a lay-off, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1m1 1/2f in the G1 New York Stakes at this track (Turf). Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so a top-three finish is on the cards. Diana Stakes winner WHITEBEAM (6) did well last time to finish second over 1m in the G1 Just A Game Handicap at this track (Turf) when she was up on the pace all the way. Won at her only try over this journey. One of the better chances. Just A Game Handicap winner CHILI FLAG (10) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by half a length over 1m in the G1 Just A Game Handicap at this track (Turf) last time out. Has a formidable combination with I Ortiz Jr who has been aboard for her last three wins. Worth including in calculations.
