EMPIRICAL (4) scored by 1.3 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell last start. Has a decent record at this track with one win and three minor placings. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Expecting a bold showing. SOUTHERN ANTON (2) found the line nicely but never threatened over 1207m in stakes class at this track (Dirt) last time out when finishing midfield. Fair record at this trip with a win and two places at the journey and rates among the leading chances. STORM HARBOR (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the corner. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is a major player. SWEET SMILE (5) raced on the pace over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to win by half a length. Can sneak into the finish again.
