COMMAND STRIKE (5) found one better when resuming last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after she was in the firing line on the bend. Form over this journey is strong, boasting eight wins from 13 starts. T Houghton who has scored on her three times retains the mount. Fitter and a likely improver. WINE ME UP BABY (1) has had two runs since a break, the latest a sixth over 6f at Mahoning Valley (Dirt), beaten 7 lengths. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so she is among the winning hopes. LIONISTIC (6) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Strips fitter and can feature. MAGIC PALACE (8) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m at Mahoning Valley, beaten 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
