MISSION GIRL (3) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months after stringing together four minor placings prior to lay-offing. Has a solid when resuming record. Erik Barbaran has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Expecting a bold showing. PRETTY PATTY (2) was a most impressive winner last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), scoring by 6 lengths. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. PANAMANIAC (7) lines up for the first time since October 11. Looking to emulate her win at this track when returning from a lay-off last prep. Has a strong when resuming record, scoring on four occasions from six runs. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. DANZA MAGIC (4) couldn't have been more impressive when resuming last start when she scored by 4 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt). Will be better for that latest run and cannot be ruled out.
