Cholla won a better race here at the end of January. She hasn’t quite run up to that form since but it will be a surprise if she finishes out of the frame today. Anditsafact has won three times since last racing here more than a year ago while Crown of Joy has probably needed her two runs this year. Cocktail Skirt hinted at a revival over track and trip last month but I Dream of Lois is best watched following a modest reappearance. Unabridged, formerly with Ger Lyons, and COLONELS DAUGHTER can fight out the finish of this. Both were ill-at-ease on Dirt last time but Juan Carlos Avila’s mare is fancied to put a poor run behind her by getting the best of the argument.
