Group 2 placegetter VENTI VALENTINE (7) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent offering a third at Listed level at this track (Dirt) over 1m when she was beaten 4 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts her right in this. OCEAN GATEWAY (9) was a dominant winner last time at this track (Dirt) over the same distance. Has been in strong form this campaign, registering three wins. Should be in the finish. Group 3 winner MIDNIGHT MILE (1) is a four-year-old import having her first run for the Chad C Brown yard. Back from a break after finishing tenth over 1m in the G3 Atalanta Stakes at Sandown Park at her last appearance eight months ago. Not seen at the trials but she should feature in the finish. Group 2 placegetter SPIRIT AND GLORY (3) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when eighth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1m1/2f in stakes class at Fairgrounds (Turf). Should be poised just off the lead. One of the better hopes.
