CLASSIC BALLAD (8) went forward last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ALWAYS ANGELS (5) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Saratoga, beaten 8 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the turn. Won't find this as tough so she is perfectly placed to score. ADE (3) improved sharply on her ninth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success as favourite over 1609m at this track (Dirt) two weeks ago, getting home by one length after being in contention on the corner. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is right in contention. TORTUGA ISLAND (2) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 0.4 lengths away in third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Well placed to figure prominently again.
