MASCARA (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. CAROL'S MELODY (4) settled well back and failed to make significant inroads in the straight last start when fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over this course and distance. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. ROYALEWITHCHEESE (5) showed good pace and kicked strongly to score over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) last time. Positive ride expected again and is capable of figuring in the finish. WILD ACCLAIM (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1609m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.
