VERTISALUTE (1) produced a reasonable effort when second last start over 1m at this track, beaten 2. 75 lengths after she made late ground. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. I BELONG FIRST (3) has scored at her last two starts, most recently by 2. 5 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three runs. Sure to go well again. BIONDETTISNITEMARE (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when fourth in a 6f contest at this track two weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. QUEEN KITTY (5) lifted strongly to salute by 0. 3 lengths three runs back at this track (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Winning rider Becerra Fernando Salazar sticks. Among the top-three hopes.
