MIRACLE BALL (3) has been in great form recently, the latest effort a dominant win by 9 lengths over 5½f at Prairie Meadows (Dirt) to make it three victories in a row. Tackling an easier race so she is one of the main contenders. LONG GONE SALLY (1) was well fancied on the back of a couple of minor placings but could only manage fifth last start over 7f at this track (Dirt). Worth noting Kelsi Harr is the change of rider. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. BELLA MENDY (4) is ready to win after she just missed last time, beaten 0. 3 lengths into second over 7f at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Should race just off the speed despite the wide draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. ASK THE MONARCH (5) was beaten 2. 75 lengths into fourth in a 7f contest at this track last time out. Well placed to bounce back.
