MAMA MARIA (3) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6½f at this track, beaten 2 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. BATUCADA (6) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth, beaten 32 lengths, at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1m1f. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. MISS UCRANIA (1) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 6½f at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DOUBLE COSMO GIRL (5) has been kept fresh since finishing second over 1m1/2f at Tampa Bay Downs (Turf) five weeks ago. Was a determined winner two starts back. Blinkers are removed. Should run well.
