Group 2 placegetter BLING (12) was safely held when resuming from a lay-off behind Roses For Debra in the G3 Causeway Stakes at this track (Turf) over 5½f, beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Expected to be in the finish. Group 2 placegetter MARISSA'S LADY (1) returns from a break of 12 weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 6½f at Turfway Park. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. Group 3 placegetter BREEZE EASY (6) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when ninth, beaten 7 lengths, over this journey in the G3 Causeway Stakes at this track (Turf). Has the ability to produce a better result. SHOOTOUTTHELIGHTS (14) is a promising galloper who saluted at her last run before a break six months ago over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Is yet to beaten when resuming from two starts. Should be prominent from the outset. One of the better hopes.
