RED HEAD ITALIAN (9) last appeared five-and-a-half weeks ago over 5f at Meadowlands when she finished third. This is her first run for the Brittany Russell stable. Shapes well and a bold showing is expected. BOND'S BELLE (7) was thereabouts last time out when third at this track (Dirt) over 5½f, beaten 0.8 lengths. Is going well with five minor placings from as many runs this campaign. Leading contender. GRANUAILE (8) is ready to win after collecting her sixth minor placing in a row last time over 5½f at this track (Turf). Rates highly on best figures and has the blinkers removed. Should be in the finish. DROPPING LEMONS (2) finished 9 lengths from the winner in seventh at her most recent outing over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) after she gave away a big start. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.
