GEM MINE (2) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 13 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 6f at Santa Anita, beaten 1.75 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. RASHMI (6) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Woodbine over 1m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Should be at her peak now. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and two minor placings from four starts. Expected to be in the finish. NANCI GRIFFITH (5) went forward last start over 1m at Santa Anita (Turf) and held on well for second, beaten 1.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. MARINAS TINA (3) was beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 1m at Santa Anita a month ago. Nicely placed to find some form.
