Group 1 placegetter WAYS AND MEANS (4) had a bit on her rivals last time with an impressive 8 lengths win over 1m at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Among the leading chances. Group 3 winner EMERY (1) has scored at her last three starts, most recently by 0.8 lengths over 6½f in the G3 Victory Ride Stakes at Aqueduct (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from three outings. Big chance once again. Group 2 winner DENIM AND PEARLS (2) returns from a three months break and is having her first try on a turf track. Has a strong record when fresh with wins at her last two starts when resuming. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to be competitive. BELLE'S BLUE BELL (3) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 1.75 lengths last time over 6f in Listed grade at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Joe Bravo who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Solid claims on best form.
