ESSENCE L VEE (1) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1609m at Saratoga (Dirt), scoring by a nose. Shaping up nicely and she is a key runner. AMELIA'S ECHO (6) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1609m at Saratoga (Dirt). Will strip fitter and can find peak form this time. THAT'STHEFACTJACK (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1408m at Saratoga after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SUCCESSFUL AGENDA (7) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 96 lengths away in tenth over 1609m at Saratoga. Better than recent efforts suggest.
