QUEEN MAXIMA (1) is a strong when resuming performer who resumes after a break of 12 weeks. Was in top form before a lay-off with two straight wins, the latest over 6½f at this track. Has a strong association with J J Hernandez who has been in the saddle for her last two wins. Among the leading chances. AMORITA (5) turned in a moderate midfield finish when resuming from a lay-off six weeks ago over 6f in stakes class at this track (Turf). Goes up a notch this time but a bold showing is expected. LOVE APPEALS (3) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 1. 75 lengths from the winner in second over 5f in stakes class at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf). Takes on tougher opposition this time but looks up to the task. PRINCESA MOCHE (6) has been kept fresh since finishing fifth over 1m in the G2 Buena Vista Stakes at this track (Turf) five weeks ago. Was a determined winner two starts back. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. In the mix.
