BOOTSY'S MERLOT (5) made it two wins on the bounce last time out when she scored by 3 lengths over 1m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. LIAM'S LASS (2) returned to winning form last start, scoring by 6 lengths over this journey at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and three placings. Definite winning hope. LUBU (3) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing seventh and beaten 18 lengths starting at 5/4. Angel I Diaz gets the best out of this four-year-old filly. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. CHASE BY THE MOON (4) was safely held when fourth last time out over 7f at Charles Town, beaten 5 lengths, after a win at Charles Town at the previous outing. In contention this time.
