Plenty of pace with Specialight and Love Fortissimo leading from Estrella. LOVE FORTISSIMO (4) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1400m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will give a great sight. CROSS RATE (8) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track. Can go on with it. ESTRELLA (2) pushed forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1400m at this track when fresh from a break. Sure to run well again. PUERTA AZUL (7) was eighth over 1600m at this track at her latest appearance. No surprise to see her in the mix here.
