THEE NEW BEGINNING (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1006m at Mountaineer Park, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. LOVEBUG (3) went forward last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten half a length. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. GREY MARKET (2) registered a strong win at Belterra Park two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in contention on the corner before finishing third over 1207m at Belterra Park, beaten 2.75 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. SHIELDMEWITHPRAYER (6) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 5 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
