SPECIAL WAN (3) last appeared when successful by half a length over 1m in the G3 Kentucky Downs Ladies Turf Stakes (Turf) nine weeks ago, the only time she went to the races last prep. Goes very well at this journey, boasting three wins from five starts and is right in this. MEDORO (5) was prominent on the corner and battled on well to finish second last start over 1m1f in the G2 John C. Mabee Stakes at this track (Turf), beaten 1. 3 lengths as favourite. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. LIGURIA (7) returns from a lay-off of 12 weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when seventh over 1m1/2f in the G2 Yellow Ribbon Handicap at this track (Turf). Sound record at this distance with three wins and two minor placings from seven runs and should be involved in the finish. TEMPTABLE (13) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 7f contest at Saint-Cloud last time out by 2. 5 lengths. Genuine type with three wins from seven starts. Strong top-three chance.
