DOUBLE SPIRIT (6) broke her maiden last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt), scoring by 8 lengths. Denis Vicente Araujo was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Serious contender again with the confidence high. AVRIL (8) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 13 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 6f at Penn National, beaten 14 lengths. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. EQUAL SUCCESS (5) returns from a lay-off of 13 months and did score when resuming when last in work at Keeneland (Dirt) over 6f. Lines up for the first time for the Stacey R Viands stable. Can make her presence felt. SUZIES PRIDE (2) was a most impressive maiden winner over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) last time out, scoring by 11 lengths. Justin Lewis was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped.
