COUNTRY MANOR (6) has raced twice. Was fourth on debut then clocked-in 5 lengths from the winner in third last time out over 5½f at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Heading in the right direction and looks the one to beat. ASHTEAD LADY (5) ran a much better race at her second outing last start when she did her best work late to finish third over 5½f at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. SLOW READY (3) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the bend at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 1.75 lengths starting at 4/1. Nicely placed to turn things around. BANKER MURRAY (8) finished 6 lengths away in fifth at her last appearance over 5½f at this track (Dirt) on September 24. Worth plenty of thought.
