ORAIA (5) clung on to finish second last start over 1710m at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths when fresh from a spell as favourite. Going up a level this time but she is up to the challenge. YOU'RE IN HEAVEN (3) went forward when resuming last start over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 13 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so she is likely to play a big role. ANGEL BELLA (4) drifted back and never threatened at her latest appearance on September 26, finishing fifth over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Well placed to make amends. JUSTIFIED GIFT (1) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at Keeneland, beaten 13 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
