SHADY CREEK (5) was on debut at this track (Dirt) last start where she made a sustained run and finished second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1006m. Will benefit from that experience and looks hard to beat. DESIGNATED RUNNER (8) has failed to figure of late. Two runs ago could only manage fifth over 1207m at this track. Last time she failed to complete the course at this track. No surprise to see her back in form today. VALID GOLD (2) was beaten just a nose last start when fresh from a spell and landed her first top-three finish in the process at Grants Pass (Dirt) over 1006m. Right in the mix with a repeat of that latest effort. CALICO TIGER (4) is a nicely bred three-year-old filly lining up for the first time. By Smiling Tiger from Madame Heat who has a high percentage of winners-to-runners. Promising type who can make a positive start to her career.

Most recently didn't finish the race at this track July 11 over 1006m. The run before that eased back early on 5th of 7 at this track on June 27 over 1207m, 16 len behind Samarolu with 55.5kg at $36.35. Could easily blow them away in the dying stages.
