STRESSED (4) went forward last start over 5½f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 0.3 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but she is good enough to figure in the finish. SNELL FLICKA (7) improved last start to finish third over 5½f at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. TIME BREAK (6) is back from a break of 14 months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when eighth over 6f at Fairmount Park (Dirt). Has switched to the Gabe Retana yard over the break. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Winning claims on best figures. POLISHED GEM (2) last appeared when she finished seventh over 1m at this track (Dirt) on December 20. Has to be respected.
