Last-start maiden winners SCARLET MACAW and PUSHING LIMITS have the scope to improve over this extended distance so they must be respected. FESTIVAL CHIC and BELA VISTA opened their accounts with course-and-distance maiden successes and both remain open to improvement. The well-bred latter has a wide draw to negotiate but could represent the value in the race. BABELICIOUS, LADY LOXTON and MISS NEW YORK, who had legitimate excuses for a disappointing last run, aren't taken lightly.
