CITY SIGNS (1) showed good early dash before weakening to be beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth over 1207m at Thistledown (Dirt) last time out. Expected to be in this for a long way. FANCIFUL (6) returns from a break of six months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fifth over 1207m at Mahoning Valley. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. RUBY LAYNE (5) went forward and gave a great sight when third over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) last time out. Will be hard to run down again. BETTER HALF (3) settled well back and never threatened when seventh over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) last time out. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
