SCARLET POPPY (4) broke her maiden last start over 6f at Aqueduct (Turf), scoring by 2.25 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Serious contender again with the confidence high. ALESS QUEEN (11) stuck on well when resuming last start to finish second over 7f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. DREAMING OF ABBA (10) found plenty to salute by 0.3 lengths three runs back at Colonial Downs (Turf) before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Has a high cruising speed. Winning claims on best figures. SINGALONG KAYLA (5) turned in a better run last start, beaten 0.6 lengths into fourth over 1m1/2f at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
