I LOVE VENEZUELA (10) produced a good effort last start when second over 5½f at this track (Synthetic) to make it two minor placings from four starts this campaign. Can overcome the tricky draw. DOWN IN THE BAYOU (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 5f at this track, beaten only 0.3 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SPICY GUACAMOLE (2) resumes from a lay-off of nine weeks. Has filled a minor placing at both when resuming runs. Opened last prep with a second over 5f at this track. One of the better prospects. VANISHING WISH (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
