BELLE OFTHE WOOD (4) resumes from a lay-off of 11 months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 6f at Pimlico (Dirt). Well placed and happy to have her on top. ZETA JONES (7) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 30 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1m at Penn National (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. AMENDMENT (1) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 7f. V Rodriguez has registered four minor placings when on board. One of the main contenders. PROUD WORDS (10) has been in the money five times including last start on March 12 when second over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Goes well here with three top-three finishes to her credit. Among the fringe hopes.
