LIL TOWN SIS (1) raced below her best last time when sixth over 1m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. WEST COAST HARBOR (6) recorded a strong maiden win over 6f at this track (Dirt) last time, getting there by 2.5 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and she is a great chance to go back-to-back. OATH OF ALLEGIANCE (4) is a four-year-old filly who is having her first run for the William Bret Calhoun barn. Finished off last campaign with a fourth at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) nine months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but is in a nice race. Definite winning chance. ESME (8) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
