NATURALLY BLONDE (3) was well fancied when resuming last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 7 lengths. Rates highly and expected to atone. BRASCIA'S ART (8) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 1.1 lengths from the winner in third over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. MISTY MALIBU (4) resumes from a spell of four months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 1207m at Emerald Downs (Dirt). Launched last prep with a minor placing at Emerald Downs over 1207m. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. ARYA'S RIDE (6) is back after a break of four months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 1207m at Emerald Downs (Dirt). Has ability and must be included in calculations.
