SPLENDID CITY (3) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 1400m. Nicely placed to go a couple better. WONDERLAND (1) raced once in the maiden preparation when fourth at this track over 1400m back on December 7. Likely improver and can get off the mark this time. BULGASAL (4) finished 7 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1400m at this track, an improvement on her first-up sixth at this track the run before. This is a nice drop in grade so she is likely to play a big role. BITTER TASTE (2) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1600m at Palermo. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.
