LUCKY PHOENIX (5) finished sixth two runs back at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by a nose after being prominent at the turn over 1106m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose. HALO CITY (4) returns from a layoff of five months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1609m at this track. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with five minor placings. Expect her to play a major role. CARLOTUK (6) is back from a spell of four months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Comes here with definite top-three claims. SHE'S SO BEARRISH (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 12 lengths away in sixth over 1609m at Mahoning Valley. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
