ALLA BREVE (5) is a strong when resuming performer who resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. Was in top form before a lay-off with two straight wins, the latest over 6f at this track. Has four wins from six starts at this circuit. Should run well. GIFT OF GAB (4) was a strong winner last time over 5½f at this track (Turf), scoring by one length to make it two on end. Goes well at this journey with five wins from 16 starts and shapes as a key contender. BEL PENSIERO (9) scored last start at Monmouth Park (Turf) over 5f after she was in contention on the bend. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from three starts. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. One of the main contenders. GASTOWN BABE (1) was beaten 0.8 lengths into fourth in a 5½f contest at Colonial Downs at her latest appearance. Nicely placed to find some form.
