MARINAS MENDOZA (4) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in an A6 at this track. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. NICOLES NOIR (1) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a third then scored by 1.75 lengths in an A7 last time at this track over 450m (28.06). Key player on latest and worth following up despite the tougher class. SPEEDY RITA (5) is rarely out of the finish, recording 18 places from 37 starts. Has hit the frame the last two runs, the latest when third (28.09) at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Bold showing expected. FALSE WITNESS (6) was in the money last start from this box and should feature again.
