R N B BABY (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Dirt), finishing second and only 0.1 lengths from the winner at the end of 1673m. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is right in contention. LIL FRIEND (1) registered her first win last start over 1673m at this track (Dirt), getting home by 1.5 lengths. Alfredo Jr Triana was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Nicely placed to double the win tally. BORN FEARLESS (4) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1207m at this track. Has definite claims. APPLE SLICE (2) is a last-start winner six weeks ago, scoring by 0.1 lengths over 1673m at this track. Everything points to a big run.
