COWGIRL CHICK (8) doesn't have the best strike rate but ran a strong race when resuming from a lay-off last time out over 1f31yards at Delta Downs (Dirt), finishing third and beaten 0. 2 lengths. Going up a level this time but she cannot be underestimated. GRAND CHARMING ELAN (11) is a consistent performer with four minor placings from six starts this time in work. Was handy all the way and finished 0. 3 lengths from the winner in second last time out over 1½f at this track (dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. THERETURNOFTHECARTEL (10) has a moderate winning strike-rate but impressed when returning from a break last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fourth and only 1. 75 lengths from the winner at the end of 1f130yards. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BLASTED EAGLE (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing seventh at this track (Dirt) over 1f130yards after she got a long way back in the run. In the right race and should be about the money.
