        Verdict

        Bluenose Belle won over a shorter trip here in January and ran well again last time but both Infinitive and Ready To Shine posted below par efforts on their latest starts. Golden Dove is preferred to Chicago Gal looking for only her second win in 22 attempts but a chance is taken on ALTERNATIVA. The latter has plenty of scope on her second start handicapping with breeding suggesting this longer trip will bring plenty of improvement.
