VALENTINA NIEBES (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1. 3 lengths from the winner in third over 1f130yards at Evangeline Downs after being in the firing line on the turn. Has the class to take care of this field. KISS THE JEWEL (2) was well fancied last time and finished a close second over 1½f at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) to remain a maiden. Rates highly here on that effort. COACHABLE (6) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time over 1f130yards at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. Z TOO (3) finished 2. 5 lengths away in fourth at her last appearance over 1f180yards at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) on December 11. Among the better chances in what looks a nice race.
