Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. LITA WAY (2) Showed some merit late when 4th last run here and has a positive alley. First start for a new trainer. Can go through the gears. Likely threat. GIRLCANTHELPIT (3) Mediocre display when 6th last time here. Should get going late. Solid place bet prospects.
