MISS MIKOS (3) returned last time with a solid second at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 6f after being in contention on the bend. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is good enough to make a big impact. IRISH SPARK (7) debuted two weeks ago when she finished sixth over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt), beaten 13 lengths. Fitter and with the blinkers added is expected to be in the finish. JOYZELLA (4) finished third last time out over 5½f at this track (Dirt), making it seven career minor placings. Has recorded three minor placings from seven tries at this distance. Expected to measure up. LIONS LAW (1) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
