PRINCESS CELINE (3) resumes from a nine weeks lay-off and looked close to a win before the break, starting favourite and finishing second at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Can pick up where she left off. Looks the one to beat. GEAUX GEAUX TIGER (2) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at this track (Dirt) over 6f, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Better for the run and can improve sharply. MYA PAPAYA (4) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 10 lengths into eighth. Has the ability to put the recent run of form behind her. VERONICAFORTHEWIN (5) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well.
