MO CONNELLY (3) was ridden quietly then made a little ground and finished 6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 4½f at Los Alamitos Qh seven weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Will drift back but wind up late. Best form puts her right in this. RED NOON RISING (6) finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 6f at Golden Gate Fields, an improvement on her fifth at Los Alamitos the run before. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she deserves another chance. WORKIN NINETOFIVE (10) is back from a lay-off of six months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 5½f at Canterbury Park (Dirt). Has to be respected. JUMPING JILL FLASH (8) was well in the market when resuming last start but failed to threaten when a disappointing sixth at this track (Dirt) over 4½f. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Solid claims on best form.
