BLACK ZABAT (6) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when she was beaten 8 lengths into seventh over 6f at this track. The engagement of Santos Rivera is a positive move. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. BOURBON GLAZE (2) scored two runs back then was well supported last time but could only manage to finish fifth over the same trip at Golden Gate Fields (Synthetic) after she had travelled in a rearwards position. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. LION'S LAIR (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 7 lengths, over 5½f at this track (Dirt) after she was prominent at the turn. Has a solid record at the third run in and looks the main danger. ROSES R BLUE (7) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Golden Gate Fields (Synthetic) two starts back then scored by 1.5 lengths as public elect last time out over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
