PIONEER PARADE (1) returns from a lay-off of six months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished sixth at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 6f when when resuming last time in work. Expected to feature on best form. SOPHISTICATED CAT (7) is resuming from a lay-off of ten weeks and having her first run for the Joe Sharp yard. Was in the placings when when resuming from a lay-off last campaign at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) over 6f. One of the genuine hopes in the race. ELOPER (3) turned things around last start and scored by 2 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn over 6½f at this track (Synthetic). Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is right in contention. WEST COASTER (8) has switched yards since finishing second three weeks ago over 6f at this track.
