HURRY HIGGINS (8) recorded his best time this course and distance last start, taking a Class 1 in 17.77 by 4.5 lengths. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. SHE WHO CAN (4) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (18.31), beaten 7 lengths. One of the main contenders. CLIFF TOP CUTIE (5) ran a nice race two back to fill a minor placing then got off the mark last time (18.05) at this track over 305m. This is tougher but expected to be in the finish. THANKS MAUDE (2) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.
