Group 2 winner CHENDO (2) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in, most recently when second over 0½f at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Well placed out to a longer trip now. Among the leading chances. TEMPTING CELEBRATION (3) has been kept fresh since she resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by half a length over 0½f at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). HANDSOME EFFORT (8) finished ninth two runs back at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner over 1f130yards at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Has the ability to score again. REGARDLEZZ (6) is a progressive three-year-old filly who resumes from a break of six-and-a-half months, her last appearance being a win over 1f31yards at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) at her only run of that campaign. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a lay-off in two starts. Interesting move to remove the blinkers this prep. One of the better hopes.
