DONTGIVEUPTHEFIGHT (11) is back from a lay-off of nine weeks and brings solid fresh form to the table. Strung together two wins before the break, the latest over 7½f at Turf Paradise Turf. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Will give a great sight. MAD ABOUT MARIE (5) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at Listed level at this track over 5½f, beaten 0. 8 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and two minor placings from four outings. Best form puts her right in this. Lay-off last start when third over 5½f at Listed level at this track, beaten 1. 3 lengths. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so she is among the leading chances. YANKEE DOODLE (1) finished sixth when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track. One of the main contenders.
