LAST WINE FOR ME (9) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 6f at Lone Star Park (Dirt) when third, beaten 6 lengths. Has a wide gate to overcome but she should pay to follow. EARLY SPRING (2) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in contention on the corner over 5f at Lone Star Park, an improvement on her fifth at Sam Houston Park the run before. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. TEKANA (3) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last time over 5½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. DON'T BLINK TWICE (10) resumes from a lay-off of three months. Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 5f at Delta Downs (Dirt). Has ability so don't underestimate.
