PROMISES TO DANCE (7) returns after a lay-off of three months. Looking to emulate her win at Churchill Downs at the beginning of last prep. Rates highly and should take some beating. SHANGHAI EXPRESS (1) missed the placings two runs back then was always well out of her ground last start when 12 lengths away in eighth over 6f at this track. This is a nice drop in grade so she is sure to be prominent. SHE'S BULLETPROOF (6) is a genuine type with four minor placings from seven starts this campaign. 3.5 lengths from the winner in second at the latest outing over 6f at this track (dirt). Will relish the drop in class so she is perfectly placed to score. ESSENTIAL BUSINESS (8) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found a couple better over 6f at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.
