LITTLE DIXIE (3) is back at the races for the first time since November 28. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 1m at Prairie Meadows. Has found a suitable race. COULDYOUBELOVED (6) last appeared a month ago over 6½f at Keeneland when she finished fourth. This is her first run for the Eric Foster stable. Leading hope who should be tough to stop. Solid top-three chance for the new barn. WITS AND WAGERS (5) struggling to break through and over a year since a win, last start finishing second over 1m1/4f at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). Has a decent record this track with a win and seven places from 12 starts and can do much better this time. FASTA LAVISTA BABY (2) resumes. Didn't make an impact at her only run last prep on March 6, finishing sixth and beaten 19 lengths over 1m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be doing her best work late.
