HONOR AND OBAY (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 5½f at this track after being prominent at the bend. Finds a tougher race but she has the ability to test this field. SMOKIN HOT CHICK (4) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished sixth at her last appearance over 5½f at Turf Paradise (Dirt) on February 21 after she got a long way back in the run. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. I MEAN BUSINESS (1) finished tenth over 6f at Turfway Park (Synthetic) at her most recent appearance on December 26. Has found the right race and is worth including. GORDA (2) ended up 12 lengths behind the winner in seventh on debut last start over 5½f at Turf Paradise (Dirt). Plenty of scope for improvement. Not to be discounted.
