MESSALINA will be having her 18th try and has on occasion flattered only to deceive. But her recent form is solid and she can finally open her account. It is a handicap, however, and more need to be included in exotic bets. LA VIDA LOCA has been producing honest performances and would be deserving. She could prefer the poly but has drawn widest. DEE DAY finished behind LA VIDA LOCA the last time they met but she is much better off at the weights and could make a race of it. MISTRESS REBECCA caught the eye in her penultimate and could be better than rated.
