A LITTLE CANELA (2) made it four wins in succession last time out when she scored by 0. 3 lengths over 6f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Winning rider Erik Barbaran retains the mount. Must raise the bar but this looks well within her grasp. LUCKY COUGAR (1) is having her first run since winning by 0. 3 lengths two-and-a-half weeks ago over 6f at this track. Has transferred to the Nestor Rivera stable over the break. In the mix despite the unknowns. CANT FAKE THE HATE (8) is a distance specialist who is progressing well this campaign. Opened with a eighth at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) two starts back then scored by 0. 3 lengths last time out after being in the firing line on the corner over 6f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Taking on a better line-up this time but she can go back-to-back. MISS FUSSY PANTS (4) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1m1/2f at Timonium. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
