CELTIC MOTIF (7) resumes from a lay-off of ten weeks and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1m at Aqueduct (Turf). Can pick up where she left off. Rates on top and is a great chance to open the campaign with a win. THAMES (9) was well fancied last time out but disappointed in finishing tenth over 1m2f at Turfway Park (Synthetic), beaten 22 lengths after she got a long way back in the run. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. POP ART (10) was in contention on the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf), beaten 6 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. QUEEN DANCING (5) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 3. 5 lengths when sixth over 1m at Gulfstream Park (Turf). Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
