LANCE'S SMILE (4) finished sixth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6f at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. SIPPIN' TIME (5) was in the money two starts back at Delaware Park but couldn't back it up last time when eighth, beaten 15 lengths, at Delaware Park (Dirt) over 5½f. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is set to turn things around. BOND'S BELLE (1) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1m at Timonium (Dirt) when she was always up in the leading division. Has the class to produce another positive result. STORMY IRISH LASS (8) finished second last start over 4f at Timonium (Dirt) to make it five minor placings from seven runs. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three four times. Can measure up.
