FULL MOON LOVER (4) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent effort a third at this track (Dirt) over 4½f when she was beaten 2.5 lengths. Carlos Eduardo Lopez who has eight wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. MANAROLA (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.3 lengths at this course and distance when when resuming from a layoff last time out. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. CEDAR'S WISH (2) was in the firing line on the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 4½f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. SAYYESTOTHELADY (1) was in contention on the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 3 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Worth plenty of thought.
