STARSHIP DEFIANT (2) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f at Saratoga, beaten 18 lengths. Has a solid second up record. Strips fitter and can take care of this field. GOLDEN TABBY (4) scored by one length when resuming last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after she was in contention on the turn. Has a very good record over this journey with four wins from eight starts. Should camp just off the leaders. Sure to be in the finish. TAKE CHARGE CHLOE (7) started at 4/5 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 4 lengths, at Monmouth Park over 6f. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Capable of testing this field. HOT FUDGE WARRIOR (1) was unwanted in betting when resuming last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten one length into second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this journey with five wins from 14 starts and cannot be overlooked.
