The pace looks even at best given a lack of early speed. LADIES PRO (1) resumed in good order in this grade and continued the impressive start to her career. She was $1.45 there and this doesn't look any harder. She remains with the same weight and the rise in trip suits. She can go back-to-back and stamp her authority. MOONWALK (4) jumped the favourite in a CL1 last start at this track and trip, scoring impressively by 2.3L. Fiore remains in the saddle and while this is tougher, she looks t be progressing nicely. Can make her presence felt. SPLIT THE GEE (3) finished 0.9L off Ladies Pro last start and stretches out to 1400m again today. She should get every chance in the run from a good draw and she meets Ladies Pro better at the weights. Can turn the tables. GOD'S RAPTURE (5) comes through the same race and should sit much closer today from the inside draw. Expecting him to be much closer. SPELLBORN (6) has claims off a good maiden win at Belmont last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ladies Pro can get the job done again.
