COMBAT MOVE (3) will find this a little easier than her second on debut three-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten one length at the end of 1106m at Saratoga (Dirt). Has plenty of upside so a big run is anticipated. APERITIF (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) over 1207m. Will need a good ride from I Ortiz Jr off the awkward draw. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. DAYLIGHT DREAMER (4) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish 11th at her latest appearance over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) after she gave away a big start. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. MY LIL ARMY GIRL (5) finished third on turf over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf two back then filled another minor placing last start on dirt over 1106m at Saratoga. Going well and worth including back to turf here.

Was well in the market at debut, 2nd in a small field at Saratoga on July 18 over 1106m, 1.0 len behind My First Dinah carrying 55.5kg at $4.88. Likely to kick on following that last outing.

Recent form sound. At the latest run got back early 3rd in a small field at Saratoga on July 18 over 1106m, 5 len behind My First Dinah with 55.5kg at $6.02. Before that raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 at Aqueduct Inner Turf on June 20 over 1207m, 2 len behind Five Dozen Roses with 55kg at $4.02. Has been racing well. Top prospects.
