MISS JUSTIFY (12) is a talented filly who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1m2f in the G1 Alabama Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt). Form this campaign has been strong with two wins to her credit. Expected to feature. NEON ICON (5) was well held over 1m2f in the G1 Alabama Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) last time out. Has been in sound form this prep with two wins from four starts. Among the leading chances. Group 2 winner CHATALAS (8) dug deep to win by a nose when fresh from a lay-off two runs back in the G3 Indiana Oaks at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) then finished sixth over 1m2f in the G1 Alabama Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) last time. Will find this easier. Should park just off the speed. Capable of testing this field. ALPINE PRINCESS (11) returns after a lay-off of six months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 6f at Saratoga. Definite top-three chance.
