ZARA'S SECRET (2) Uncompetitive when 4th last time at the track. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Should muster plenty of early speed. Producing consistent results since coming back from a break. This field suits. BLUEY BABY (5) Came in 3rd last start at this track. Has run into the money regularly this preparation. Looks promising in this race. COURAGOUS LIL (1) Good win last run here and have to respect the form at the trip. Going well this preparation and drawn well. Can win. GHOST OF WADDELL (7) Was nothing special when 4th last time here. Showing positive results this campaign. Will be motoring home late. Key player.

Jumped at $5.50 and unimpressive effort when 4th last time at this track. In top racing shape this preparation. Has a great burst of speed late. Represents value.
