PERPETUAL PRAISE (2) finished fifth two runs back at Laurel (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 1.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend over 5½f at Thistledown (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is good enough to cope. BEST VIRGINIA (1) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 4.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 4½f at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Sure to run well. PAYNT YOUR WAY (7) lifted strongly to score in a then was prominent in the run last time before finishing fourth over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Winning claims on best figures. AFLEET DIVA (3) turned in another moderate effort last start when 18 lengths from the winner in ninth over 6½f at this track. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
