Group 2 placegetter FINGAL'S CAVE (2) returns after a lay-off of 14 months. Looking to emulate her win at Belmont Park at the beginning of last prep. Capable of playing a major role. Group 2 placegetter VENTI VALENTINE (3) settled well back last time then wound up strongly in the straight to finish third over this journey in the G3 Go for Wand Handicap at this track (Dirt). Will find this much easier. Leading contender. BUSTIN BAY (5) wasn't far away last time out, finishing second over 7f in stakes class at this track (Dirt) when she was handy all the way. Has three wins at the trip. Among the winning hopes. Set Weights EETIE (4) strung wins together then has filled minor placings at her last couple, most recently when beaten 5 lengths into third over 1m1f at this track (Dirt). Likely to be about the mark again.
