CHOKECHERY SHARI (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1308m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Faces an easier assignment so she is a major player. SHADOWED THOUGHTS (6) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when she was in contention on the bend before being beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth over 1207m at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including three top-three finishes. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RABBLE (3) finds it hard to win with two victories from 23 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1308m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Has the class to get the job done. WINANYWAYUCAN (5) was last at the races when she finished fifth over 1106m at Grants Pass (Dirt) on September 15. Among the better hopes.
