TOVIA (8) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 18 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 5½f at this track, beaten 18 lengths. Nicely placed to test this line-up. ZIFFY BUG (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when fifth in a 1m contest at this track a week ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. RITZ ON BROADWAY (2) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 21 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. CHARLIZE CHUB (5) improved last start to finish third over 5½f at this track. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
