FLEE (3) Just shy of the win last time here and returns to a longer distance. First start for a new trainer but up in class. No surprise to see a win. ESSENTIAL GIRL (1) Made considerable ground when 2nd beaten by 2 3/4L last start here and has drawn to do little work. Has a nice turn of foot. Matched against a stronger field. Strong claims. BULLE BABE (6) Ran 4th last start at this track. Should improve from the last run but rising in class. Won't be far away during the run. Keep in mind. SWEET AND FEISTY (5) Struggled with the pace when 7th last run around here and competing at a higher level of competition. Include in chances.

Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 2 3/4L last start around here and drawn the rails. Possesses good finishing speed. Racing in stronger company. Should give plenty of sight.

Odds of $10.00 and not up to scratch when 6th last start around here but can find a nice position from the draw. Likely to get back in the run. This won't be easy.

Started at $6.00 and came in 4th last start at this track. Should improve from the last run but challenged by a tougher grade. Shows good early pace. Good chance in this.
