CCED FOR STEPH (9) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Less impressive last time out when third over 5½f at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BLESS D'SOUTH (3) started at 13/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths at Delta Downs (Dirt) over 1m. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. LOYAL TO THE CHIEF (8) did little and finished 12 lengths from the winner in fifth over 5½f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth at this track the run before. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. When resuming over 1m at this track (dirt), beaten 7 lengths. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be doing her best work late.
