PERIDOT PENDANT (1) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by 1. 3 lengths over 6f at this track (dirt) last start. Has a strong association with Eswan Flores who has been in the saddle for her last four wins. Should be hard to stop. OPPOSITE THE CROWD (3) returns from a break of 12 weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 5½f at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. RITABOOK (6) lifted strongly to get the prize by 5. 5 lengths three runs back at this track (dirt) before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Has a solid record at this circuit. Should be involved in the finish. GOLDEN EIB MICRPHN (7) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 3 lengths back in third over 6f at this track (Dirt). The engagement of A R Rodriguez is noteworthy. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
