TROUBLE AND STRIFE (5) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 4f124yards at this track, beaten only one length after being in the firing line on the bend. Goes up a rung or two but she is up to the task. GODDESSOFTHEMOON (2) is a four-start maiden who finished sixth at her most recent appearance over 5½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. COURTSDREAM (6) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished sixth over 5½f at Emerald Downs (Dirt). Has ability and is a leading player. MCKENNA MOON (7) finished 5 lengths from the winner in seventh at her most recent appearance over 5½f at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Worth including in this suitable contest.
