NEXT GIRL (11) scored at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time out with 0. 1 lengths to spare over this journey. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and three placings. Expected to measure up. SHEILAHS WARCLOUD (5) improved last start when she made late ground to finish third over 1m1/2f at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. CLUCK CLUCK (7) found one better last start at this track (Dirt) over 1m1/2f after she was prominent at the turn. Form over this journey is strong, boasting three wins from three starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will be in this for a long way. BACKSTRETCH ROSE (6) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Capable of featuring prominently.
