AVERY COUNTY (2) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fifth. This is a nice drop in grade so she is likely to play a big role. OPEN FLAME (5) is back from a lay-off of four months. Raced once last campaign and finished third over 7f at Delta Downs (Dirt). Has a decent record at this track with four minor placings from six runs. Sure to go well. ONLY AFTER MIDNITE (1) returns from a lay-off of 11 weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fifth over 1m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Makes plenty of appeal. DEVIL'S DEN (4) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished eighth at this track (Dirt) over 6f, beaten 20 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
