COUNTRY PROMISES (7) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing half a length from the winner in second over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt). Improver who looks a major player. CITY BLAZE (6) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at Belterra Park (Dirt) over 6f. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. MANDAVILLA (2) last appeared two-and-a-half weeks ago over 6f at Belterra Park when she finished second. This is her first run for the Kristina M Tumblin stable. One of the genuine hopes in the race. TAMPA TEACHER (1) settled well back and never threatened when seventh over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt) last time out. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
