CLIMB TO GLORY (1) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished sixth over 5½f at Prairie Meadows (Dirt). Can make a winning return. AFFECTION (8) is a three-year-old filly who lines up for the first time. From a strong family that has produced at black type level, being by Ghostzapper from the stakes winner Got Lucky. Has the right credentials to make a bright start to her career despite a tricky stall. CONCEAL (4) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished seventh at her last appearance over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) on February 16. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. ROYAL LIAISON (5) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last start over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.5 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again.
