GIRL OF MY DREAMS (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 12 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when eighth over 5f at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Worth noting Antonio Fresu goes aboard. This doesn't look as hard so she is likely to play a big role. MADISON RAE (7) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when fourth over 1m1/2f at Listed level at Santa Anita (Dirt). Rates highly and should take beating. HIGHLANDS (1) finished 6 lengths from the winner in sixth last time out at this track (Turf) over 1m1/2f. Has a very good record over this journey with three wins from six starts. Has solid claims. PACE LANE (5) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 6½f at this track, beaten 12 lengths, after a win at Santa Anita at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can run a bold race.
