XMAS IN CAIRO (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic) over 1207m after being prominent from the outset. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. HOPEFORGREATNESS (7) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at her last four starts, most recently scoring over 1006m at this track. Hard to knock and is a winning hope again. CYNTHIA GAIL (2) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 4.5 lengths last time over 1609m at PENN NATIONAL (Dirt). Has been in great form with four victories from seven runs this preparation. One of the main contenders. QUIET CITY (3) won at this track and distance at her last outing ten weeks ago. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
