A FANCY MATE (9) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 0.9 lengths, over 1f31yards at The Red Mile (Dirt). Will strip fitter and is ready to win. TRICKY ONE (5) has not appeared since she finished second over 1f80yards at Zia Park (Dirt) on December 2. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. POP SUGAR SUSIE (4) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 1.75 lengths when fourth in a 1f80yards contest at this track two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MR BLACK DIAMOND (3) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite market confidence. Last start could only manage sixth over 1f80yards at this track (Dirt). Can sneak into the finish.
