Pace only fair with Gospel Girl rolling to the lead ahead of Disney Castle and Queen Of The Mile. BEREZKA (11) has finished runner-up in three of her past four starts and is knocking on the door. Ran up to win last time and just couldn't kick that door in.Talent is there - is the willpower? We will find out here as this is well within range and he won't get many better chances to convert. JUST PRECIOUS (8) returned to the winners' stall over this track and trip at the latest effort and Bayliss sticks in the saddle. Can go back-to-back. GOSPEL GIRL (3) saves her best form for this distance range and is a must for the exotics players. QUEEN OF THE MILE (1) next best from the Freedman barn. Respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Berezka can finally convert one.
