MALICED (4) was well fancied last time but found one better at this track (Dirt), finishing one length adrift at the end of 6f. Looks well placed stepping out in trip. Winning chance. WICCA WISDOM (2) comes here fresh from an all-the-way win by 0. 8 lengths over this journey at this track (Dirt) on February 3. Deshawn L Parker who has scored on her three times retains the mount. Leading contender. A NEW PEACE (5) hit the line nicely last time to grab third, beaten 4 lengths, over this journey at this track (Dirt). Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with five wins from 10 runs and is expected to run well. BOOTSY'S MERLOT (6) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt) over 1m, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the better hopes.
