POLITICAL SPIN (6) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished seventh when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at Aqueduct (Dirt) then improved and scored as favourite over 1m at this track (Dirt) five weeks ago, getting home by 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely to be there at the finish again. CRYSTAL WATER (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 0. 1 lengths away in second over 1m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. SALLY BALI (2) finished third at Belterra Park two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 6f at Hawthorne (Dirt), finishing 12 lengths back in seventh. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. HONESTLY (5) did a great job to score by 6 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
