DIVA READY (9) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate her win at Saratoga at the beginning of last prep. Now under the care of new trainer R P Klesaris. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. JOYA DEL SUR (1) placed as favourite last time over 1m1/2f at Pimlico after she had won two races on end. Rates highly and is worth another chance. LADY HAMILTON (2) was in the firing line on the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1m at Presque Isle Downs after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task. LOVING CUP (8) turned in a modest performance when sixth last start over 1m1/4f at Penn National, beaten 20 lengths after a good when resuming win at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
