READY TO BATTLE (7) finished fifth last start over 7½f at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) after racing on the pace for much of the way. Rates highly and expected to go well. NIKITA'S GEM (1) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Woodbine All Weather, finishing second and only 1. 5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1m1/2f after being in contention on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. BELLA CLASSICA (8) built on a nice second when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at Woodbine All Weather with a win as public elect over 1m1/2f at Woodbine All Weather three weeks ago, getting home by half a length. J Crawford scored on her last time and retains the mount. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running another bold race. ENGLISH JUBILEE (3) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 6½f at Woodbine All Weather, beaten 8 lengths at long odds. Should camp just off the leaders. Must be respected.
