RIO ROJO RANCHERO (4) was far from disgraced when second last start after being in the firing line on the turn over 1f80yards at this track, beaten 0. 3 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Beautifully placed and is sure to bounce back to form. JESS A HEART OF GOLD (5) returned from a lay-off five-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 2. 25 lengths into ninth over 1f at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time. SAN LORENZO FAST (8) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1½f at this track, beaten only half a length after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to find winning ways. THE STAR IN ME (6) lines up for the first time since December 10. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1½f at Delta Downs. Among the better hopes.
