NATIONAL DIAMOND (2) has been freshened up since finishing tenth on June 21 over 6f in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Expected to bounce back. SHE'S WILLIE FAST (5) was safely held when second last start over 6f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. That followed a good when resuming win at this track. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. EXALTADA (7) turned things around last start and landed the prize by half a length after being in contention on the corner over 1m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to take this out. GATHA'S SONG (6) is progressing well this campaign, getting the job done by 5 lengths last time out over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
