Tig Tog beat Wind Tartare easily enough in a less valuable claimer here last month though will need to step up on her latest effort in this grade. Point Hope also beat Wind Tartare when runner-up at the track earlier and can figure again but Flying To The Line has struggled since scoring over track and trip at the start of the year. KITTYHAWK LASS (NAP) won a starters race at Del Mar back in November and has been competing in allowance races subsequently. She should find life easier at this lower level and Mike Puype’s filly can return to winning ways.
