CRUEL (8) turned in a fine effort to win by 4 lengths at this track and distance when resuming from a lay-off last time out. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done again. JUICY HANNA (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 1m at this track, beaten 4. 5 lengths into sixth. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. LADY AUTHENTIC (9) recorded a strong maiden win over 7f at this track (Dirt) last time, getting there by 14 lengths. Tricky draw to overcome but she cannot be underestimated. CAYMAN HOT (10) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 5f at Delta Downs, beaten 3 lengths. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
