LADY STAR (7) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Should be poised just off the lead. Expected to be in the finish. DIVA BEACH (11) is back at the races for the first time since August 7. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 1m at Evangeline Downs. Capable of playing a major role. AWREE (2) has a moderate winning strike-rate but did a good job when returning from a break last time at this track (Turf), finishing third and only 1. 75 lengths from the winner at the end of 1m. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. GRACE HAZEL (3) ran below expectations when fresh from a lay-off at this track (Turf) over 1m last time, finishing seventh and beaten 5 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
