AS THE BELL TOLES (5) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1609m at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Shaping up nicely and she should be in the finish. NOBODY'S GIRL (3) returned from a spell two months ago when she was beaten 24 lengths into sixth over 1408m at Laurel. Raul Mena gets the best out of this four-year-old filly. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. AVRIL (2) settled well back and never came on when resuming last start, finishing sixth and beaten 20 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. The engagement of I Beato is a positive move. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. BRISCOE COUNTY (4) turned things around last start and scored by 10 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort.
