BELLA MENDY (5) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when third over 1207m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Must raise the bar but she has the ability to bounce back. MIRACLE BALL (3) scored by one length last start over this journey at this track (Dirt). Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Rates highly and can measure up. ASK THE MONARCH (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when fifth over 1006m at CANTERBURY PARK Turf two weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. LADY K WESTFALL (1) won at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with top-three prospects.
