MOONLIGHT GAMBLER (4) finds it hard to win with just one success from 12 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 1m1f at Churchill Downs, beaten 4.5 lengths. Luan Machado gets the best out of this three-year-old filly. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. HEART HEADED WOMAN (9) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1m at this track (Synthetic), scoring by a nose. Drawn out a bit but she is right in the mix again. COLONIAL ROSE (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2.75 lengths away in third over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Drawn to stalk the leaders. Finds an easier assignment and can run another big race. MUSTANG LADY (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on November 29 when beaten 5 lengths into fourth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1m1/2f. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish.
