HALF BIRTHDAY (6) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by 0.3 lengths over 1106m. Rosario Montanez who has scored on her eight times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish. THESE APPLES (2) was well in commission last start over 1207m at this track (Synthetic) when third, beaten 7 lengths. Has never been out of the money over this course and distance from four attempts. Best form puts her right in this. FIELDS OF GREEN (5) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 1006m at this track. Strips fitter and can feature. COURAGEOUS ARI (7) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at this track (Synthetic) before finishing third, beaten 2 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role.
