MIAMI VICE (1) didn't do a bad job when fourth last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 0.9 lengths after he made late ground. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. VALAROC (2) kept coming only to just miss last start over 1000m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TYQUENDO (6) was last at the races when he finished sixth over 1300m at this track on November 5. Worth plenty of thought. STARSPANGLEDANCER (5) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1100m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
