THUNDERING DESIRE (4) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fourth over 1609m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. RIDEAROUNDSALLEY (8) is having her first try on a turf track at the third run back. Improved sharply last time out when she scored a 2.5 lengths win over 1408m at EVANGELINE DOWNS. Should be poised just off the lead. Expecting a bold showing. KINDLING EMBERS (2) was safely held when resuming from a spell last start, finishing 14 lengths back in seventh over 1609m at EVANGELINE DOWNS. Gets to a turf track for the first time today. Strong record with T Pompell aboard, including two wins. Expected to measure up. STORMS OF LIFE (7) lines up for the first time since April 15. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1710m at Fairgrounds Turf. Worth plenty of thought.
