NEVER WALK ALONE (1) pushed forward from a wide draw when resuming last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish second over 4½f at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with winning claims. VALLEY STAR (9) finished out of the money two starts back then she got a long way back and was beaten 8 lengths when seventh over 6f at Laurel a week ago. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. J J'S JOY (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she settled well back over 6f at Oaklawn Park, beaten 13 lengths into sixth. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. FEATHER WISH (4) is a three-year-old filly who is having her first run for the Javier Contreras barn. Finished off last campaign with a fifth at Delaware Park (Dirt) 11 months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks well placed. Can run a bold race.
