THE DEVIL'S DREAM (8) returns from a break of 12 weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a eighth over 5½f at Thistledown. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. SHEZ SHACKED UP (4) finished seventh two runs back at Thistledown (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by a nose after being in the firing line on the turn over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt). Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. GAIL'S DANCER (5) is a last-start winner over 5½f at Thistledown (Dirt), showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by one length. Should figure in the finish. CAUSE OF LOVE (7) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Thistledown (Dirt), most recently beaten 4 lengths into second over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt). Well placed to figure prominently again.
