SPLASHY (1) finished second last time out over 6f at this track (Turf), making it four career minor placings. Goes well here with two top-three finishes to her credit. Sure to prove very tough to beat. MAJULU (6) was well in commission when resuming last start over 6f at this track (Turf) but could only manage fifth, although only 2.75 lengths from the winner. Should be prominent from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. BETTER BE SMART (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the turn. Goes up a rung or two but she is up to the task. PAMPLONA RED (5) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1m1/2f at Saratoga (Turf). Can kick off with a bold showing.
