PERFECT ANGEL (4) proved too strong two runs ago at Mahoning Valley. Safely held last time out when fifth over 5½f at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Tackling a more suitable race so she can return to the winners' list. COUNTESS COLETTE (5) returned from a lay-off five weeks ago when she was beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 6f at Mahoning Valley. Taking on a better field but she is fitter and up to the task. IT'S BROWNS TIME (1) did a great job to score by half a length over this course and distance last time out to continue her outstanding recent form. No reason she cannot salute again. PERFECT DATE (6) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 1. 5 lengths over 1m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Well placed to feature in the finish again.
