MAERDAMA (9) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Colonial Downs (Dirt) over 6f after being prominent from the outset. Generally takes a sit but the draw makes it tricky. Has the class to take care of this field. ROXY (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 15 lengths when fifth over 6½f at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. LOIS' COURAGE (7) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at this track (Synthetic) over 5f, beaten 8 lengths. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. MEET ME IN THE AIR (1) went forward over 5f at this track (Synthetic) last time but found one better. Has managed five minor placings from seven runs at this circuit. Must be respected.
