CLOSE UP (8) was well fancied last start over 7f at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 2. 25 lengths. Worth another chance. GORTREAGH GAL (7) is yet to break through in 18 runs. Finished fifth at her last appearance over 6½f at this track (Dirt) on January 14 after she was well back on straightening. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. DEPOSIT SLIP (5) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 2 lengths. Nicely placed to go one better. ITZA KITTY (1) returned from a lay-off three-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 2. 75 lengths into fourth over 7f at this track. Strips fitter and can improve.
