CROSSED UP (6) settled well back before finishing 7 lengths adrift in fourth over 6f at this track (Dirt) last time. Distance specialist with five wins and 12 minor placings from 22 runs and is a leading contender. PRETTY PATTY (8) went fast early and went on to score by 1.5 lengths when resuming last time out over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. SUSHI Q (3) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3.5 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. GOLD HONEY (7) dug deep to win by a nose when fresh from a lay-off two runs back at this track (Dirt) then finished sixth over 6f in stakes class at this track (Dirt) last time. Will find this easier. Form here at the trip is sound with three wins and two minor placings from seven runs. Capable of taking the next step.
