TEN OF HEARTS (8) has been out of the placings in tougher races at her last two outings, the latest when tenth in stakes class in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Better placed in this easier assignment and should regain form. SPARKLEY BARKLEY (4) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. JOYRIDING (2) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of 11 weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 6f at this track (Dirt). Rates highly and is a chance to break through. ANGEL'S EFFORT (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 20 lengths into eighth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
