Century Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
VERTICAL SMILE (7) 2yo by Vertical Horizon having first start for trainer J Brandon Campbell. J Brandon Campbell is a bonus. Market as guide. DIXIELAND DELIGHT (1) Led and controlled the pace to win by a margin of a head last start around here and drawn beautifully. Has early speed and positions nicely. Looks a winning hope. MONTANA SKY (5) Nice run when 3rd last time around here and having second race start. Should muster plenty of early speed. Keep in mind. MISS MELANIE (6) Right in the mix last time here and fitter for debut run. Should be swooping on the field late. One of the hopes.

Pushed past some when 5th last start at the track and was on debut last time. Gets back and needs luck. Cannot have in this race.

Came in 3rd last time at this track and was a debutant last start. Should come to hand quickly. Hard to see finishing out of the placings.
