CAJUN EXPECTATION (3) could only manage fifth on debut then improved last start but found one better over 6f at Tampa Bay Downs, beaten one length after being in contention on the bend. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is good enough to take this out. CRASH (7) is on debut for the Juan Alvarado stable. Three-year-old filly by Brethren from Do Somethin. Should acquit herself well. Keep an eye out for any positive market movement. FOR THE THRILL (4) again failed to feature last start, finishing sixth and beaten 23 lengths over 7f at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed and a bold showing is expected. BALENCIAGA BETTY (2) is a nine-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 10 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). Will drift back but wind up late. Deserves respect on best figures.
