ASHIMA (4) is back from a lay-off. Closed last prep in sparkling form with four consecutive wins, the latest over 1m at this track on January 11. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Among the leading chances. ZISISIT (6) ran a strong race when resuming then raced on the speed last time and faded out of it when fifth over 1m at this track (Turf). One of the chances based on her best recent efforts. SARA MIA (1) ran tenth at her latest appearance over 5f at Tampa Bay Downs, finishing 6 lengths from the winner. Has sound form here including a win and two minor placings from six starts. One of the main contenders. HEIR TO THE ROAR (5) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 2.75 lengths at this track (Synthetic) over 5f. Should be competitive in this suitable race.
