CHECKN CARTEL (4) is back at the races for the first time since May 4. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 1f180yards at this track. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. BRUNO CZECH (2) finished fifth two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths after being prominent at the turn over 1f80yards at this track (Dirt). Finds an easier race and can get the job done again. Group 1 placegetter OPTICAL ILLUSION (5) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1f130yards at this track (Dirt) but could only manage fifth, although only 2.25 lengths from the winner. Sure to measure up. WINNERS SHARE (8) was beaten 2 lengths into seventh in a 1f80yards contest at this track five weeks ago. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
