BANDITS WARRIOR (1) was in the money on the dirt at this track two runs ago then backed it up with a win, also on dirt, at Pimlico over 5f five-and-a-half weeks ago. Jg Torrealba who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Leading contender. SMOOTH PEBBLE (4) scored in a at this track (Turf) but was below her best last time when fifth over 5½f at this track (Turf) after being in contention on the turn. Hard to beat in this suitable race. STRESSED (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 5f at Lone Star Park, beaten 7 lengths into fifth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. FAST LANI (5) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 5f at Penn National (Turf), beaten 6 lengths. Will enjoy a drop in class so she can bounce back.
