SWIFT SPEED (2) will find this a little easier than her second on debut three-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 2 lengths at the end of 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt). Jumps from a good draw so she shouldn't be a maiden for long. VIAGGIO (4) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish eighth at her latest appearance over 1609m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. STORMED OFF (8) has been in the betting at both starts but hasn't managed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fifth over 1609m at Keeneland Turf (Turf), beaten 9 lengths. Worth including. GREATEST BLAZE (9) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.

Was at big odds at debut, ran second last of 8 at Keeneland on October 14 over 1308m, 14 len behind Psalm Beauty with 54kg at $30.84. Requires plenty of improvement after a modest debut.

Having third race start. At debut, got back early 5th of 10 at Kentucky on August 29 over 1308m, 4.5 len behind Duty Bound with 53.5kg at $7.06. Second-up 5th of 10 at Keeneland Turf on October 10 over 1609m, 9 len behind Global Unrest carrying 54kg at $6.42. Key chance likely to give a big sight.

Was well-supported at debut, 2nd in a small field at Gulfstream Park All Weather on October 4 over 1006m, 0.3 len behind Cynster with 54.5kg at $3.60. Sure to take a lot from that experience and makes plenty of appeal.
