MELANCIA (2) led throughout last time over 1006m at Pimlico (Dirt) and scored a comfortable win. Should be ridden positively again and is likely to play a major role. DANNI'S RHYTHM (3) broke through for her maiden win over 1207m at Pimlico (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and she is a solid top-three hope. SASSAFRASSNESS (5) was in contention on the turn and finished third last start over 1207m at Delaware Park (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. CHASE BY THE MOON (4) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1710m at this track, beaten 37 lengths. Well placed and can make amends.
