Abundant pace from Pretty Slick, Kitema and Maximum Power vying for the lead with La Petite Maison on their backs. PRETTY SLICK (1) saves her best form for this sprint journey with five wins and nine placings from 18 attempts and will strip fitter second-up from the break. Is one from one over this track and trip and should be right there at the business end. NORTHERNONTAP (4) loves this course and distance with three wins and three seconds from just seven starts and has won when fresh before. Shapes as a leading contender. NO LOVE LOST (8) has placed in six of his past seven outings and looks to be working up to another victory. Top-three candidate on best figures. TOW THE LINE (10) will be ready to peak now third run back and maps nicely for this from gate three. In the mix. TALONS (7) best of the rest despite the wide draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Pretty Slick.
