OHOOPEE (5) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months and tackles a synthetic track for the first time. Important to note she opened last prep with a win at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1106m on. In for a good campaign, starting here. NEW ISSUE (1) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. AIR ONE (8) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 1207m at this track (Synthetic). Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. MISS THALIA (2) started this prep with a win then not disgraced last time out when third over 1207m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. One of the main hopes.
