KODIAK GIRL (4) ran a much better race at her second outing last start to finish second over 1600m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BITTER TASTE (13) has been about the money with four minor placings from five runs this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1600m at this track. Borda Gonzalo Damian has registered three minor placings when on board. Well placed and should be in the finish. LA BANDA (10) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1600m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. VEGAS VACATION (7) is a well-related three-year-old filly making her first appearance at the races. By Daniel Boone from Villard who has produced some fine gallopers, including a winner at G1 level. Promising type who can play a big role.
