BEL ARIA (2) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the turn at this track (Synthetic), finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths starting at 11/2. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. BOURBONWITHGINGER (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 9 lengths into 11th. The engagement of Yan Aviles is noteworthy. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. ABITIBI (1) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when sixth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 6f at this track (Synthetic). Will strip fitter and can find peak form this time. CACTUS FLOWER (4) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.8 lengths at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
