DESERT WHISPER (6) was a narrow winner by a long neck at this track in a then third at this track last time. Big weight drop will assist. Winning rider Chris Parnham stays aboard. Bold showing expected. JAZ SESSION (9) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by a nose over 6f at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Can measure up again. MADHI GIRL (11) returns from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Closed off last prep in great form including a dominant win over 5f at Belmont Park at her most recent appearance. William Pike has been the pilot at her last three wins. Expected to measure up. OXBRIDGE (3) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by 1. 75 lengths last time out over 5½f at Albany. Strong performer at the third run back from a lay-off with two wins and three minor placings from eight attempts. Takes on a better field this time but is among the better hopes.
