ARIEL MOON (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 22 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 6f at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. CHICKIN LICKIN (3) last appeared when she finished sixth over 1m at Colonial Downs (Dirt) on July 19. Lines up. For the first time for trainer W R Bailes. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. BUCKIN' RIGHT (6) doesn't win out of turn but left a good impression last time out when beaten half a length into second over 7f at this track (Dirt). Has managed four minor placings from six runs at this circuit. Should be involved in the finish. WORRIES UNFOUNDED (12) is coming along nicely this prep, scoring by 4 lengths last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Has her share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
