Expecting a strong pace headed by King Of Venus, The Specialist and Gimmethegoodlife. WAR OF KINGDOMS (15) has been thereabouts last couple but has a good record this shorter trip and at the course and distance. Will be storming home late. GIMMETHEGOODLIFE (1) was an open class winner latest. Jockey has a great record aboard and with good early speed is sure to go well again. ONE EYE ON VEGAS (10) wasn't disgraced when fourth in stakes class latest. Ran on well and will be charging again late here. MIAMI MOUNTAIN (11) tackled the dame stakes race as One On Eye Vegas last time and had little luck. Safely held but back in grade and gets chance to atone.
