JOYFUL PURSUIT (14) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) following a minor placing at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 6f the run prior. Finds a nice race and this might be her day. ALONG CAME THUNDER (10) showed little early speed when resuming last start then lengthened in good style in the straight to finish third at this track (Dirt) over this journey. Well placed to feature again. WEST TEXAS RUBY (5) settled well back when 99 lengths from the winner in ninth over 5f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth at Remington Park the run before. Has the talent to figure prominently. TRIBE (4) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when she was beaten 8 lengths into fifth over 6½f at this track. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
