KOUTOUBIA (2) dug deep to score in a then was beaten 15 lengths into seventh over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) last time seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Blinkers applied so a bold showing is anticipated. VIOLETS SMILE (4) returned from a break last start with an all-the-way win over 6f at Penn National (Dirt), getting home by 1. 75 lengths. Will prove very tough to beat. BATTLING TIME (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TEMPTING LADY (9) finished second two runs back at Penn National (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by half a length as public elect over 6f at Penn National (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason she cannot score again.
