TOUGH LOVE TORRES (1) did a great job to score by 9 lengths over today's course and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up run. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. TARTARIA (6) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at Oaklawn Park. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. MADAME MARKIEVICZ (5) has strung together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on December 18 over 1207m when she scored by 1.3 lengths. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. YUMA'S SHADOW (2) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 1408m at Delta Downs (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form.
