CLEARLY COPPER (4) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of three-and-a-half months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1m1/4f at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Looks the one to beat. GOSSIPER (1) is yet to break through after six career starts. Managed to find the placings at this track (Synthetic) two starts back before finishing fourth over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) last time. Cannot be left out of calculations. BELLA CARMELINA (5) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish second, beaten 4 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. TELL ME SOME LIES (6) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 2 lengths when fifth over 1m at this track (Turf). Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
