Set Weights EET FUSION (8) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing eighth over 1m in the G1 Natalma Stakes at this track 29 days ago. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. PIPER'S GIFT (1) was too good for a maiden field last start over 6f at this track, scoring by 8 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with Rafael Manuel Hernandez who was on board last start. Capable of taking the next step. SMOOCH UP (3) is in top form, most recently recording a win by 0. 1 lengths over 6½f in stakes class at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic) to make it two in a row. Has a high cruising speed. Will be in this for a long way. SACRED GODDESS (4) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 6f in Listed grade at Aqueduct (Turf). Outsprinted in the run home but kept coming and the extra ground looks a big plus. Can feature in the finish.
