VELVETFREEZE (8) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Will be very hard to beat with that run under the belt. SCHWARZ (1) settled back on debut last start then made a dash forward before the turn and stuck on well to finish second over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Will be better for that experience and he shouldn't be a maiden for long. WILDWOOD ROAD (6) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish third over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver who is among the better chances. SERENE EMPRESS (3) finished 14 lengths away in fourth at her last appearance over 1106m at this track (Dirt) on September 26 after she was well back on straightening. Worth plenty of thought.
