BIG BELL (3) is resuming from a break of nine months for a new stable after finishing fifth over 1m at Santa Anita (Dirt) at her latest outing. Goes well when fresh with a win and two minor placings from four starts. Sure to go well. MARY MARGARET (1) settled well back last start and never threatened when 11 lengths from the winner in sixth over 6f at this track (Dirt). This doesn't look as hard so she is set to turn things around. MISS JOANNIE (6) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 5f at this track (Dirt), scoring by 1.5 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and this looks well within her grasp. CHOCOLATE FRECKLES (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
