AMERICAN SPLENDOR (9) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 7½f at Delta Downs (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 1. 5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Has the talent to take this out. PERFECT DEAL (2) settled well back and failed to come on in the straight last start when eighth, beaten 18 lengths, over this course and distance. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. MARIELITA (5) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 3. 5 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is right in contention. MAXIE LADY (8) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 4f at this track (Dirt), finishing 1. 5 lengths from the winner in seventh. Has ability and shapes as a top-three chance.
