MARK OF VICTORY (5) is ready to break through after collecting her 6th minor placing in a row last time over 1m at this track (Turf) after being prominent from the outset. Has the pace to be thereabouts from the outset. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HERON BAY (6) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1m at this track (Turf) when third, beaten 4 lengths. Can atone. SENT BY ANGELS (4) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at this track, beaten 9 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. STAKEMAKER (7) didn't do a lot on debut three-and-a-half weeks ago, finishing 12 lengths from the winner in 11th over 6f at Santa Anita (Turf). Will take a lot from that experience. No surprise to see her improve sharply.
