OPAL BEACH (8) did a great job to score by a long neck over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Nicely placed to take this out. LADYMEANSBUSINESS (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 10 starts. Was again denied last start when she found one better over 6¾f at this track. In the right race and there is no reason she cannot get the major prize. CHEF DE MISSION (1) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when seventh, beaten 2 lengths, at this track over 5f. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. LAVA LAD (9) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6¾f at this track, beaten 3 lengths into sixth. Capable of featuring prominently.
