SASSI STRUTTER (6) continues to race well with a win in a at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) before finishing 1. 1 lengths away in third last time over 5½f in stakes class at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). T Pompell who has four wins when partnering stays on. Well placed and should be in the finish. MISS CODE WEST (3) scored at her latest appearance over 1m1/4f in stakes class at Remington Park (Dirt) on December 20. Is unbeaten from four runs when resuming and proved too good when resuming last prep, is among the better hopes. PONDICHERRY (4) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 5f at Energy Downs (Dirt). Tackling a deeper field this time but she is up to the task. BANTERRA (1) is back from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 5f at Sam Houston Park Turf (Turf). Yet to win when resuming but generally runs well with three minor placings from five tries. Can make her presence felt.
