Divine Source should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. DIVINE SOURCE (6) is an honest campaigner who is yet to miss the top-five in ten career starts to date and doesn't know how to run a bad race. Winning rider Thornton sticks in the saddle and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. MUSIC FEVER (4) has strung two wins together on the bounce and it's hard to knock mares in form. Capable of another strong showing. The well-related CORDINA (5) (half to Golden Slipper winner Farnan) hit the frame here when having her first run for the new stable and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Top-three credentials. LUNAR EIGHT (2) will be ready to peak now third run back and gets the services of Jones in the stirrups. In the mix. MARAGICAL (3) best of the rest from the inside marble. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Divine Source.
