EARTHSTORM (2) ran another good race last time when third over 7½f at this track, beaten 1. 5 lengths. Leading hope coming back to this trip. DEEL HER IN (9) missed the placings two runs back then was never in contention last start when 7 lengths away in 13th over 6f at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. PROSPECTOR'S PICK (4) is a distance specialist who progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1. 1 lengths from the winner in second over 6f at this track. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. PLAYIN'IT Set Weights EET (1) scored last start in the LR Burgess Queen Stakes at this track to make it three wins from four starts this campaign. Well placed in this easier race. Must be respected.
