SAMARITA (1) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths starting at 2/5. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FIRST KITTEN (4) improved sharply on her fifth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 5½f at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by 0.3 lengths after she gave away a big start on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TRIPLE SCOUT (7) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Well placed and expected to feature. LILY'S WOOFY (8) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Has a high cruising speed. Deserves respect on best figures.
