BOLD APPEAL (6) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at this track (Dirt) over 6f, beaten 5 lengths. Blinkers come off second up. Fitter so a bold showing is likely. LADY MOSCATO (7) is back after a break of 12 weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished sixth over 5½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Bold showing expected. BELLAJU (8) is a first-starter by Sky Mesa from Pretty Valentine who has been an outstanding producer including winners at black type level. A product of the strong juvenile stable of Robertino Diodoro. Has the right credentials to make a bright start to her career despite a difficult stall. HURRICANE FIRE (9) showed good early speed when resuming last start over this journey at this track (Dirt) before finishing third, beaten 6 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat.
