DIVINE ROSE (8) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1m1/2f at Aqueduct (Turf) when second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Has plenty of upside so she is worth following up. BLACK DOG (4) resumes from a lay-off of three months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 5½f at Saratoga (Turf). Good chance to break through. NILE VALLEY (3) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fifth in a 1m contest at Churchill Downs five weeks ago. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is sure to be prominent. TRIUMPHANT SPIRIT (7) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of nine weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf). Has ability so don't underestimate.
