NEVER WALK ALONE (9) is fresh from a lay-off of eight months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Louisiana Downs (Turf) over 5f. In a different yard now. Sure to take some beating. BETCHA BOOTS BABE (3) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.75 lengths. Senior rider aboard this time. Expected to go well again. SERIOUS MOMENT (7) is back from a lay-off of nine months. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 6f at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Under the care of new trainer Nesvil Hernan Bailon this prep. One to consider. KEEPEM SAFE (12) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 4½f at this track, beaten 11 lengths into fourth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
