VENUSTA wasn't at her best last time but is just 3lb above her handicap debut-winning mark from Windsor in June. She's undergone a wind operation since and holds a few entries in the coming days, connections may be confident of further progress from the daughter of Medicean. Kannapolis has been very consistent but isn't getting much back from the handicapper as such, while Pinnata's two Newmarket runs of late put her firmly in the picture. Handicap debutante Baalbek is open to a deal of improvement and is greatly respected.
