PERIDOT PENDANT (1) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by 1.3 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt) last start. Has a strong association with Eswan Flores who has been in the saddle for her last four wins. Should be hard to stop. OPPOSITE THE CROWD (3) returns from a break of 12 weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 5½f at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. RITABOOK (6) lifted strongly to get the prize by 5.5 lengths three runs back at this track (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Has a solid record at this circuit. Should be involved in the finish. GOLDEN EIB MICRPHN (7) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 3 lengths back in third over 6f at this track (Dirt). The engagement of A R Rodriguez is noteworthy. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
