MRS SPEAKER (5) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6½f at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LADY FREE WILL (1) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at her latest appearance over 6½f at this track (Dirt) after she got a long way back in the run. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. COAL'S MAGNOLIA (8) remains a maiden after five starts. Finished fourth last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Solid top-three chance. NO VIOLENCE (6) was beaten 6 lengths into fourth in a 6f contest at Thistledown two-and-a-half weeks ago. No surprise to see her in the frame.
