Prize Money: $143,678

LIBERTY'S ADVANCE (8) had been in solid form without winning before finishing fourth last time out, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1408m on dirt at Belmont Park. Tackles a dirt track for the first time today. Bold showing expected with the blinkers added. LADY VORTEX (3) debuted seven weeks ago when she finished eighth over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt), beaten 23 lengths. Can improve sharply and is expected to feature. PROBABLE CHOICE (2) is a eight-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 20 lengths when ninth over 1811m at this track (Synthetic). Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. IT'SGOODTOBEQUEEN (5) is appearing for the first time. By King For A Day and hails from the Rob Atras stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.

Racing second-up today. Last run ran last of 9 at this track on September 20 over 1811m, 20 len behind Lyn's Legacy carrying 55.5kg at $60.24. At only start last preparation ran second last of 10 at Saratoga Inner Turf on July 4 over 1710m, 20 len behind Morning Prayer carrying 55kg at $37.68. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 8 at Belmont Park on October 10 over 1408m, 3.5 len behind Startowne Road with 56kg at $3.57. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Saratoga Turf on August 13 over 1106m, 7 len behind Combat Move with 55.5kg at $1.97. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
