BARBARA JOAN (2) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 6 lengths away in sixth over 6f at Woodbine on August 9. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a lay-off in two starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best figures should see her run well. MINIMUM FORTY (1) impressed when successful on debut over 6f at this track five months ago and has not been produced since. Looks promising and can measure up again. LADY VIRAGO (5) returned from a lay-off last start with a strong win by 2 lengths over 6f at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Will be better for that latest run and must be respected. PRINCESS OF STORM (4) is back from a lay-off of 16 months. Closed last prep with a ninth, beaten 5. 5 lengths, over 1m1/2f at this track. Big run is likely.
