JOY IN THE BATTLE (1) was well in commission last start over 7½f at this track (Turf) when fifth, beaten 8 lengths. Rates highly and expected to atone. BEE A BALI (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7½f at this track, beaten 9 lengths into sixth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. OCTANE (5) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was always well out of her ground over 6f at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into sixth. Meets a stronger field but she is capable of running a bold race. AUSTIN CITY GIRL (9) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 7½f at this track (Turf). Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling.
