CINCO DE MANDEE (3) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 5½f at this track (Synthetic), scoring by 0.8 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and happy to have her on top. MOLISE (5) is back after a break of nine months. Looking to emulate her win at Oaklawn Park when returning from a lay-off last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race. MOTITO (1) improved sharply on her seventh two starts back at Parx (Dirt) with success over 6f at this track (Synthetic) eight days ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again. POQUITO ROSE (2) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by 0.8 lengths at this track and trip last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise.
