VALI VALI VAL (3) was not far away last time out, finishing third over 5½f at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) when she was handy all the way. The extra journey should play into her hands. Winning chance. MODERN MISS (2) turned in a nice run when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at this track then missed the placings last time when 7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 6f at this track (Dirt). Can bounce back to her best form. WELCOME SURPRISE (4) closed last prep 11 weeks ago when she finished ninth over 7½f at Gulfstream Park Turf. One of the genuine contenders. LIONESS LILLIAN (7) got a long way back when 8 lengths from the winner in sixth over 6f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth on debut at this track the run before. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
