MELANCIA (3) is a six-start maiden who finished second over 6½f at this track (Dirt) last time out after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. TECA (6) returns after six months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 6f at this track (Dirt). No surprise if she was able to get off the mark. JUST WORDS (4) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished third, beaten 19 lengths, over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. SECRET FIRE (5) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she settled well back over 6f at this track, beaten 13 lengths into seventh. Likely improver with strong prospects.
