VEERY (2) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when she scored by 5 lengths over 1308m at WOODBINE All Weather. Will be better for that latest run and happy to have her on top. MADAME OBEY (3) has not appeared since she finished seventh over 1710m in stakes class at WOODBINE All Weather on October 11. One of the genuine hopes in the race. DAKOTAH BLUE (8) broke through for her maiden win over 1408m at WOODBINE All Weather last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Has a wide gate to overcome but she is worth including. PERIWINKLE (7) returns from a spell of six months. Closed off last prep in great form including a dominant win over 1408m at WOODBINE All Weather at her most recent appearance. Among the main hopes.
