DISTINCTIVE DEB (1) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Unbeaten in two starts when second up, last prep scoring over 6f at Emerald Downs. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. SMILING LADY (5) last appeared three-and-a-half weeks ago over 6f at Horsemen's Park when she finished third. This is her first run for the Jerry Gourneau stable. Will be tuned-up for this and is expected to run well. LA GATA SALVAJE (3) saluted at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when third over 5½f at this track, beaten 2. 5 lengths. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. DYNAMIC STRIKE (7) was beaten 11 lengths into fifth over 7f at this track last time out. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
