COPPER CRUSH (1) is yet to break through after three career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Delta Downs (Dirt) two starts back before finishing fourth over 6f at this track (Dirt) last time. This looks her chance to break through. DIAMOND COUNTRY (8) is a nine-start maiden who is building towards a win, the latest run an encouraging fourth over 5½f at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. STRUMMIN MARY (4) settled towards the tail then wound up strongly to finish 3 lengths away in third when resuming last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Must be included. DRAMA QUEENIE (9) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 5½f at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 2.75 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing.
