PARIS BY NIGHT (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PELICAN PIER (7) has been in the placings two times from six outings. Last start finished fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three two times. Great chance to break through. HAPPY ENCOUNTER (1) is poised to win after placing at her last three outings, most recently when third over 1609m at Delaware Park (Dirt) when she was in the firing line all the way. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. SHANGHAI ROSE (4) could only manage to finish eighth, beaten 16 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1106m at Laurel Turf (Turf) after she gave away a big start. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. Something for the Multiples: HER DECISION (2)

Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at this track on October 4 over 1207m, 4 len behind Brown Sugar Betty carrying 55.5kg at $3.10. The start before that 2nd of 7 at Timonium on September 7 over 805m, 2 len behind Befuddled with 55.5kg at $4.50. Sure to be right there at the business end.
