BELLA FLORA (6) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run. MOBIL ENSIGN (2) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on July 1, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt). Comes here with definite claims. ECHO VALLEY (7) is back at the races for the first time since November 10. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1207m at Thistledown. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. LESOTHO (4) was beaten 7 lengths into fourth in a 1207m contest at this track last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
