HOT GOSSIP (7) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish ninth at her latest appearance over 1m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. SPARKLING MAMA (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. DOPPIO ESPRESSO (3) improved last time out, finishing 2. 5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 6½f at this track after being prominent at the bend. Taking on a better field but she is worth serious consideration. MY FIRST DINAH (4) made her debut last start at a big quote but defied the market to grab second, beaten 4. 5 lengths, over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has upside and must be respected.
