OPPOSITE THE CROWD (5) is progressing well this campaign. Opened with a eighth at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) two starts back then scored by half a length last time out after being in the firing line on the corner over 5½f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. LADY IN HEELS (3) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in the firing line on the turn before finishing third over 6f at this track, beaten 2. 75 lengths. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. LA GATA SALVAJE (8) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6f at this track, beaten 1. 5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. OLGA (1) settled well back from the inside draw last start before coming home nicely to finish 6 lengths away in fourth over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
