COMMAND STRIKE (1) was always forward and boxed on to finish fourth over 6f at this track (Dirt) last time. Should be prominent from the outset. Expected to be in the finish. POETIC VERSE (4) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fourth over 6f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) after she was in contention on the turn. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in and is capable of sharp improvement. TIZ INDEPENDENCE (5) has been racing well and is poised to break through after four minor placings in a row, the latest when third over 6f at this track (Dirt). Victor Severino has been in the money at the last four rides. Has winning claims on best figures. MALICED (6) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Fitter so can figure in the finish.
