PRINCIPIA (2) settled well back when 15 lengths from the winner in sixth over 5½f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth at Delaware Park the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ELIKA (5) was always well out of her ground when 7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 6f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth at this track the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. CEVICHE (1) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 6f at this track (Dirt). Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. MAGIC PALACE (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on July 9 when beaten 10 lengths into seventh at this track (Dirt) over 6f after she gave away a big start. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
