OPAL BEACH (8) did a great job to score by a long neck over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Nicely placed to take this out. LADYMEANSBUSINESS (6) doesn't win out of turn but holds peaks good enough to take this out. Was again denied last start when she found one better here. In the right race and there is no reason she cannot get the major prize. CHEF DE MISSION (1) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when seventh, beaten 2L, at this track over 1000m. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. LAVA LAD (9) next best.
