MITESSE (2) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 5½f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. SPLASH OF TONIC (3) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when fourth, beaten 9 lengths, over 6f at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. CAGUA (1) finished sixth two runs back at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic) then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend over 6f at this track (Dirt). Must raise the bar but this looks well within her grasp. J P'S GLADYS (4) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track (Dirt), most recently beaten 2.25 lengths into second over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Well placed to figure prominently again.
