DEATH VALLEY (8) won narrowly by 0.8 lengths two runs back at Louisiana Downs (Dirt) then missed the frame last time at Listed level at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Down in the weights on last run. Sure to go close if runs up to recent win. ITS A GOOD VALENTINE (7) finished eighth when resuming last start, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 320m at this track. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring five times from nine starts. Should camp just off the leaders. Leading contender. DING DANG DULCE (3) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest offering a sixth, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 320m at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Will find this much easier. Well placed and is one of the main contenders. IMA BIGG FLASH (1) finished fifth over 366m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
