JUST SO PRETTY (8) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 1m1/2f at Aqueduct (Turf). Good effort to open last prep when in the money at Saratoga over 1m. Well placed and happy to have her on top. FUNDAMENTALLY (11) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1m1/2f at this track after being prominent at the corner. Must raise the bar but this looks well within her grasp. AFRICAN WATERS (2) finished 1.3 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in contention on the turn over 1m at Tampa Bay Downs, an improvement on her sixth at Aqueduct the run before. Taking on a better field but she is worth another chance. VINO FRIZZANTE (9) ran below expectations last time at this track (Turf), finishing 11th and beaten 99 lengths. Worth another chance.
