MS FIRST PILOTO (3) is going well and is knocking on the door, last time out finishing second over 1f at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) and only 0.1 lengths from the winner. Hector Javier Hernandez has registered three minor placings when on board. Best form puts her right in this. JOSIES CARTEL (5) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1f31yards at Louisiana Downs, beaten 3 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. ARIES (4) returns after a lay-off of six months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1f31yards at this track. Now under the care of new trainer Manuel Roman. Has to be respected. KEEP WORKING (2) finished fifth over 1f180yards at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) at her most recent appearance on February 1. Lines up. For the first time for trainer miguel a castillo. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
