SECURITY CODE (3) is returning from a lay-off of ten weeks. Finished sixth in stakes class at this track (Dirt) over 6½f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer P M Serpe. Expecting a seamless transition. ST BENEDICTS PREP (4) was only 0.3 lengths from the winner in second last time out in a small field over 1m at this track (Dirt). Reunites with jockey Jose Lezcano who knows her well, including three wins while aboard. Fitter and a likely improver. RACHEL'S ROCK (1) is a talented mare who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 6 lengths behind Tizzy In The Sky over 1m in the G3 Go for Wand Handicap at this track (Dirt). Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from four starts. Shapes as one to consider. SIMPLY STATED (5) started at 11/4 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 10 lengths, at Laurel over 6½f. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Deserves respect on best figures.
