LAMORNA (11) is returning from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Finished ninth at Aqueduct (Turf) over 6f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer W A Ward. Makes plenty of appeal in the new surrounds. GIRL OF MY DREAMS (10) good effort to finish third last time out over 5½f on turf at Churchill Downs, beaten 0.2 lengths. First try on synthetic. Sure to be thereabouts. HEY OLIVIA (1) placed two starts ago at Horseshoe Indianapolis but could only manage fourth last time, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 5½f on dirt at Churchill Downs. First try on synthetic. Plenty of scope for improvement. MENDREL (7) returns from a lay-off of 22 months and did score when resuming when last in work at Hawthorne (Dirt) over 5f. Lines up for the first time for the Destin G Heath stable.
