BOOTSY'S MERLOT (1) was an emphatic winner last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt) with today's rider B Tapara engaged. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. LITTLE MISS MUNNY (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Presque Isle Downs. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1207m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. DERBY DAY KISS (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 1207m after being in the firing line all the way. Has a high cruising speed. Likely improver with strong prospects. LATE NITE LIZZIE (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 13 lengths into fifth. Worth noting Erik Barbaran goes aboard. No surprise to see her in contention.
