HIT THE ROAD BRAT (9) impressed when successful on debut over 1m at this track (Turf) five weeks ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. ROWSIE EXPRESS (6) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1m1/4f at Delaware Park (Dirt) when beaten 2.75 lengths. Top chance. NICOLAR (2) resumed over 1m at this track (Turf) last start and was too good for her rivals, scoring by 2 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and is expected to run well again. MISCHIEF MOTION (1) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 2.75 lengths win at this track (Dirt) over 7f. Winning rider Jean Gregor Briceno stays aboard. Must be respected.
