MARK THE WINNER (8) safely held last start when beaten 8 lengths into fifth over 6½f at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Can bounce back. STORM IN THE VALLE (4) was prominent from the outset when third over 6½f in stakes class at this track (Dirt) last time out. Has the pace and the right draw to find a good early position. Expecting a bold showing. TRUST ANABELLE (5) returned to winning form second up last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Fitter for recent racing so she is among the winning hopes. MAMA WAS A ROCKET (12) returns from a layoff of ten months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6f at Sunland Park. Makes plenty of appeal.
