MAXIMUM TO EXCEL (5) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 8 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. Among the leading chances. DIXIE SURPRISE (4) started at $5.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 15 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. LADY CAPTAIN (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 13 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. KANSAS SMOKE (3) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Expect a better run this time.
