VENTURA (3) brings the strongest winning profile after scoring by two and a half lengths at this track as a well-supported favourite, and the manner of that win suggests she has returned in strong order. She is lightly raced, has three wins from eight starts and is already proven over this 1000m task, so she deserves to be treated as the runner to beat. ECORO REGINA (11) is the established danger, with three wins and two placings from eight starts at this track and distance, plus a recent Open win over American Stage before finishing sixth in the G3 Ibis Summer Dash. FIORAIA (8) has not fired in two runs this campaign, but her Listed and G3 form reads well for this and she has won at this venue. Mozu Nanao Star (9) resumes with solid turf credentials and has placed at both the distance and the track, though she must turn recent unplaced runs into something sharper.
