QUEEN OF SALSA (1) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6f at this track, beaten half a length after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. SPEAKING OF ART (5) went fast early over 1m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) last time and dug deep to score by 2. 25 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. QUEEN BERKELEY (6) failed to threaten when fresh from a lay-off last time out, beaten 9 lengths into sixth over 1m at Evangeline Downs (Dirt). Can feature in the finish. SISTER SAINT (3) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 7 lengths back in third over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
