MOM'S HANDS (2) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing eighth over 7½f at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf). Looks ready to win. FRANCESNFRIENDS (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 15 lengths when fourth over 6f at this track three weeks ago. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MARY CLAIRE (3) has been in the money two times including last start on January 29 when third over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three two times. Will be thereabouts. NAYKESH (7) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 6 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
