MARIAN CROSS (8) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish eighth over 5½f at this track (Turf) in a disappointing performance. Has the ability to produce a better result. RYE SMILE (2) started at 11/10 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 4.5 lengths at this track (Turf) over 5½f. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. ROMANTIC STORY (4) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 5½f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. Set Weights EETCATHERINEROSE (1) could only manage seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 5f at Penn National, beaten just a nose. Suitably placed so she can be prominent again.
