SERENE WATERS (1) finished third when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track. Hard to go past. KRICKLE (13) travelled in a rearwards position then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 6f at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Among the chances. ANOINTED OF GOD (5) broke through for her maiden win over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time. Shaping up nicely and she is a solid top-three hope. BANANA SPLIT (4) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when fifth over 1m at Parx, beaten 57 lengths. Expect a better run this time.
