THREE POLKS (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 15 lengths into sixth after being prominent at the bend. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. HOUSE OF MAGIC (10) returns from a lay-off of seven months and is having her first run for a new yard. Was a winner when fresh last campaign at Los Alamitos (Dirt) over 5½f. Expecting a bright start for the new trainer. END OF INNOCENCE (11) turned in a modest performance when sixth last time out over 6f at Ellis Park, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running a bold race. KRICKLE (12) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start over 1m at Ellis Park (Dirt), beaten 9 lengths. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards.
