EMPIRICISM (1) stalked the lead after a clean break from trap 4 and went on to finish second (42.49) at this track in a OR over 695m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Makes plenty of appeal. DROOPYS FERVOUR (4) jumped from this trap and placed in an A7 at this track over 500m latest (29.85). Has a consistent record off this same box, including a win and eight minors. Harder here but expected to measure up. LILYS BULLET (3) is better than last start when fourth (42.57) in a OR at this track over 695m. Key player if finds best. POCKET GUNNER (2) is another with top-three prospects.

Having her first start over this trip. Last appeared when fourth over 500m at this track. With even luck and a clean start she should be very hard to beat.
