BATTLE TESTED (1) broke through for her maiden win over 1m at Thistledown (Dirt) last time. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Nicely drawn on the fence and she should be in the finish. LA VILLAGE LUMIERE (9) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 18 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 6f at Mountaineer Park, beaten 12 lengths. Has the ability to take this out. FLATTERING HEART (7) was well in commission last start over 1m at Thistledown (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Can bounce back. ELKO (2) turned things around last start and got the job done by one length over 1m at Thistledown (Dirt). Well placed to feature in the finish again.
