GOLD LIGHTNING (5) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Aqueduct six months ago. Can pick up where she left off. GRECIAN GODDESS (9) settled well back and never came on when resuming last start, finishing eighth and beaten 7 lengths over 1m in the G2 Appalachian Stakes at Keeneland (Turf). Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. BELLA HAZE (11) failed to threaten when fresh from a lay-off last time out, beaten 12 lengths into fifth over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Fitter and the blinkers come off. Among the leading chances. CAIRO STREET (8) was last at the races when she finished sixth over 7½f in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park (Turf) on December 9. Has found the right race and is worth including.
