BERNIEANDTHEROSE (1) is yet to miss the placings in six starts, including four wins. Is at the races for the first time since she finished third over 7f at Saratoga on June 4. The addition of Lasix should see her return in good form. FILLY FREEDOM (5) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 6 lengths back in second over 1m at this track (Dirt). Hard to beat in this suitable race. ALWAYS PRACTICAL (6) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 1. 5 lengths back in second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to take this out. ROMANTIC DANCER (2) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt) over 6f, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. Deserves respect on best figures.
