CORDOVA STONE (6) raced on the speed on debut last start and held on well for third over 1f80yards at Louisiana Downs (Dirt). Has plenty of upside so she will be hard to beat. JETBLACK CORONA CHIC (1) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at her second outing when prominent at the corner, finishing 0.3 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1½f at Louisiana Downs. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. FLYING HOTT (7) ran a better race last start at her second trip to the races, finishing fifth over 1f31yards at Remington Park (Dirt). Progressive type with strong claims. CR PEARL (5) is a two-year-old filly at the races for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Dash Master Jess from The Dove.
