GOOD AMERICAN (5) returned from a lay-off two months ago when she was beaten 3 lengths into sixth over 1m1/2f at Gulfstream Park. Strips fitter and can figure prominently. Group 2 placegetter EXCELERINA (2) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when ninth, beaten 21 lengths, over 6½f at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. HEAVENLY APPOINTED (4) came from well back on cornering and hit the line strongly to score over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) last time out. Kevin Gomez has been the pilot at her last two wins. Has claims on her best figures. CUPID'S STRIKE (3) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m at this track (Turf), beaten 2 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. In the right race and is a top-three hope.
