HOT MIDDLES (9) is back at the races for the first time since November 14. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6f at this track. One of the genuine hopes in the race. WICKED VETTE (3) is a promising filly yet to miss the frame after two starts, including a win. Last appeared when she scored over 5½f at this track on October 31. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will play a major role. HOOSIER PROMISE (8) has not been sighted since she scored over 5½f at this track on November 13. Winning claims on best figures. MI CAPRICHUDA (6) is back from a lay-off of nine months. Won on debut at the only appearance last prep, taking out a 5f contest at this track by 1.3 lengths. Should run very well.
