GIFT GIVING (2) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 6 lengths over 6f at Fonner Park (Dirt). Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and she is a key runner. GIO LINH (4) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Turfway Park (Synthetic), most recently beaten 8 lengths into third after she gave away a big start over 5½f at Fairmount Park (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment and can take the next step and salute. CARMALIETA (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth in a 1m1/2f contest at Oaklawn Park three weeks ago after being prominent at the corner. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is perfectly placed to score. ROARING VIXEN (1) was last at the races when she finished seventh over 6f at Hawthorne (Dirt) on October 30. One to consider.
