PORTLAND (9) is improving in each start and is close to a win. Well drawn again and she can swim so the footing is not an issue. Stablemate scratched so this is the lone stable runner here tellingly. PLATINUM DIAMOND (5) good winner last start in the wet and is a filly with more to offer. She can pay a dividend here. COUNTRY SALON (1) is racing super and loves wet ground. Impossible to see out of the trifecta and first four. AYUMI (8) ran a good second at debut. Class riser here. A placing or the first four is possible. ENSIGN ARIA (6) ran a fair race fresh up. Does seems to handle it dry and wet. Place or first four is possible.
