Keen tempo with Forte Rosa and T M Talisma prominent. MILL MINERVA (6) is back from a break of five-and-a-half months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when seventh over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. Should be poised just off the lead. Among the leading chances. FORTE ROSA (13) has been about the money with two minor placings from three starts this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. NUGGET MONSTER (15) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt four weeks ago after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. FELLINI (5) finished 13th, beaten 8 lengths, last time out over this course and distance after coming from an outside draw. Solid top-three hope.
