DRILLS WILD BRAT (5) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt) three weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. COUNTESS COLETTE (2) has registered three minor placings from three runs this campaign. Turned in another good effort last time out when second over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt) after she was always up in the leading division. In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. VAL'S TWINSTAR (3) was safely held when second last time out over 6f at Thistledown, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the corner. That followed a win at Thistledown at the previous outing. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. VICTORIA COMMAND (6) accounted for a maiden field over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt) last start, finishing a nose ahead of the nearest rival. Yan Aviles was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. This is tougher but she cannot be underestimated.
