CELTIC BOND (9) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 6f at this track (Dirt). Should be on-pace despite the tricky draw. This doesn't look as hard so she is likely to play a big role. BANANA SPLIT (1) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing ninth over 5f at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic) last start. Key runner on her best form. MUNNIS PRETTY (7) returns after seven months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 6f at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic). Has ability and is a leading player. LA BEFANA (2) is back after a break of six months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 6f at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
