MIDNIGHT JAMBOREE was last seen finishing fifth in the Grade 2 Santa Maria Stakes at Santa Anita and could get back to winning ways dropping in class for this assignment.

Big Treat bolted up on her debut in April last year and the market should tell us more on her return from 465 days off. She is noted, likewise Essential Business who is another unexposed quantity, but the safer play might be the more experienced and in-form DANCING DANA from the inside gate.
