Verdict

MIAMI VICE (1) was a comfortable winner of his penultimate start and then was less than a length from the winner last time out over 1000m. The extra 100m is ideal, and from a superior gate, he is the one to beat. VALAROC (2) is getting closer to breaking through for his first local win after finishing runner-up here by a short head just over 3 weeks ago in the same race as the top pick. Stick with him. STARSPANGLEDANCER (5) has had a freshen up since her last start in early January. She might need the run but is well-graded and can make her presence felt. EXCEEDINGLY MAGIC (3) had a torrid run last start and understandably weakened in the run home. She has the pole position this time, and with a senior hoop replacing an apprentice, she should have a kinder trip in transit this time. Each way value. TYQUENDO (6) failed to fire in 3 starts during the spring and is resuming from a spell. He has won twice fresh up in the past and can't be underestimated.
