BELLAVININO (4) finished 3 lengths away in fifth last time out over 7½f at this track six weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Sure to prove very tough to beat. MISS MARY NELL (8) improved sharply on her tenth two starts back in Listed grade at this track (Turf) with success as public elect over 1m1/4f at this track (Synthetic) five weeks ago, getting home by 2.75 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose. POCKET PAIR (7) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Woodbine. Not as effective last time out when third over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to return to winning form. MIA VITA (6) is a last-start winner four weeks ago, scoring by 0.3 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track. Major contender.
