JOYFUL JOSEPHINE (1) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 5½f at Prairie Meadows (Dirt). Well placed and expected to feature. HAZARDTOYOURHEALTH (3) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2.25 lengths over 5½f at North Dakota Horse Park (Dirt). This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. SOUTHERN SPEIGHT (4) finished 12 lengths behind the winner in sixth over 6f at Prairie Meadows (Dirt) last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Should be poised just off the lead. One to consider. SPREAD THE RISK (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at Sweetwater County Fair, beaten 7 lengths into sixth. No surprise to see her in the mix.
