SPICY ITALIAN (5) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt), beaten 14 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. WEST COAST SONG (1) was far from disgraced when second last start after being in the firing line on the corner over 1m at Mountaineer Park, beaten 2.25 lengths. That followed a win at Mountaineer Park the start prior. Likely improver with strong prospects. BABE IN THE WOODS (10) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 7½f at this track (Turf). Among the chances. JOYZELLA (11) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 9 lengths away in fifth over 6f at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
