APOLLITICAL BRAD (3) improved last time out, finishing one length from the winner in third at the end of 229m at Delta Downs after being in the firing line on the corner. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. EC MISS DASHING (5) could only manage fifth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 229m at Delta Downs, beaten only one length after being in contention on the corner. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. ONE DASHING BUG (8) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 229m at Delta Downs. Tough to stop again. LUCI B (9) finished sixth over 320m in stakes class at Gillespie County Fairground (Dirt) at her most recent appearance on July 5. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
