ABIDALE (8) returns from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when sixth over 1m1/4f at Parx (Dirt). Under the care of new trainer Ronney W Brown this prep. Should be hard to stop. BONNIE BLUETOOTH (5) finished second at this track and distance at her last appearance ten weeks ago. Should be hard to stop. SO RED THE ROSE (10) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished third at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by a nose last time out over 1m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves plenty of thought. TIMEISGOLDEN (4) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 7f at this track, beaten only 0.1 lengths. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.
