MADAME GAZELLE (5) ran well below her best last time over 5½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths into sixth at 11/4. Has a formidable record at this journey with five wins and three placings from 12 starts and should be in the finish. THE GREAT HAYNES (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 5½f at this track after being in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. STANDFORGRIT (2) was safely held when fifth last time out over 5½f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at Ferndale at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. STATEFOREST (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 6f at this track. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
