AUNT STELLA (4) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished fifth when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at this track (Dirt) then improved and scored over 5f at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Has the class to take this out. ESSENTIAL BELLA (3) was last at the races when she finished tenth over 5f at Sam Houston Park (Turf) on February 4. Now under the care of new trainer Joel Berndt. Looks a winning chance. PLAY TWENTY (7) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 5½f after being prominent from the outset. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SUMMER AT THE SPA (6) is back at the races for the first time since February 7. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 1m1/4f at Tampa Bay Downs. Definite top-three chance.
