RAYYA VALENTINE (8) is returning from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Finished seventh at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Antonio Sano. Rates highly and can return in winning form. GULLFAXI (1) was below her usual level on the dirt track in a when fifth over 7f at Tampa Bay Downs. Missed the placings again last time on turf over 7½f at this track. Is a winner at this circuit. Bold showing expected. HARD SPICE (7) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 7 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt). Shaping up nicely and she is one of the main chances. REFUGIADA (5) lines up for the first time since May 2. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1m at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
