JOYFUL KITTEN (6) has switched yards since finishing fourth three-and-a-half weeks ago over 6f at Laurel. Rates highly and expected to go well. ALI'S HANNAH (2) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 7f at this track (Dirt), scoring by one length. Shaping up nicely and she is a great chance to go back-to-back. MALTESE ROSE (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth in a 7f contest at this track a week ago after being in contention on the bend. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. SHE HAD A SECRET (1) lines up for the first time since October 30. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 5½f at Presque Isle Downs. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Worth plenty of thought.
