VINO BELLA (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m1/4f at Fairgrounds, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is up to the challenge. PROTOCOL (6) will find this a little easier than her third on debut five weeks ago, beaten 12 lengths at the end of 1m1/2f at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Likely improver so she shouldn't be a maiden for long. REDO (2) finished 11th over 1m2f at Turfway Park (Synthetic) at her most recent appearance on December 5. Has to be respected. FASCINATOR (3) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start over 1m1/2f at Turfway Park (Synthetic), beaten one length. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she cannot be ruled out.
