CANADA CANDY (1) has been in the placings her past two starts, finishing second over 6f at this track (Dirt) last time out. Should be poised just off the lead. Expected to be in the finish. WORTH A PEEK (7) scored when resuming two runs back then was well supported last time but finished a disappointing fourth over 4½f at Charles Town (Dirt). Form at this distance is strong with three wins from six starts and should prove tough to beat. A REAL HERO (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 1m at Fairmount Park, beaten 22 lengths into sixth. Has the talent to take care of this field. LA REINA DEL NORTE (9) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
