ZOLENE (4) was narrowly beaten last start when second in a small field over 1006m at this track (Synthetic) at the first run of the campaign. Should settle handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. SILICIUM (6) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a ninth at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) two starts back then scored by 0.3 lengths last time out after being in the firing line on the bend over 1006m at this track (Synthetic). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. VELVET RAGE (2) scored at this track (Synthetic) last time out with 2 lengths in reserve at the end of 1106m. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two placings. Strong winning hope again. ALWAYS READY (5) ran well below her best last time over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf), beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth at $3.40. Should be poised just off the lead. Don't underestimate.
