RYKA (2) is close to breaking through with four placings from four outings this preparation, last time out finishing second over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt). Well placed to make a big impression. RYZEN (3) missed the frame last time when fourth at Thistledown (Dirt). That followed a run of two wins on end. Has a high cruising speed. Best figures should see her run well. DARK N DIRTY (4) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 1.75 lengths over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt). That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from six starts. Can feature again. KIDDIE COCKTAIL (6) scored last start at Thistledown (Dirt) to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Must be respected.
