VALUE AREA (14) is putting together some solid results. Finished third in stakes class at this track (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by 1.5 lengths as favourite last time out over 7f at this track (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form she is good enough to take this out. BARAYE (3) was prominent throughout when winning fresh over 5½f at Keeneland (Turf). Stiffer assignment here but she is expected to run well. MARCO T (13) was too good for a maiden field last start over 6f at this track (Turf), scoring by 4 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Manuel Franco was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Harder this time but still one to consider. GOLDEN GHOST (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7½f at Gulfstream Park, beaten 2 lengths into sixth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
