TEXAS BONNIE (2) last start finished 2nd in a HCP on May 28 over 480m at this track behind Solway Splash beaten 6 lengths (29.42). Looks suited here and rates on top. SLINGSHOT BELLA (4) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (29.44) last time in an A4 at this track. Expected to run well. MAKEIT A BREEZE (6) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.3 lengths at this track in a handy 39.74 beating FABULOUS NEWS. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Sure to be thereabouts. FABULOUS NEWS (1) followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 1.3 lengths, last start when starting off 9m from the scratch dog in a handicap at this track over 640m (39.85). Jumps with a 10m advantage. Not out of the equation.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 640m. Won't find this much harder. Right in the mix.
