(# 9) PROM PARTY - Found herself running in traffic for the majority of the race last time which takes a lot out of any horse. She shook clear in mid-stretch, but was too late to get anything better than third. Draws a nice post today for the flat mile on the grass. Trainer Todd Pletcher adds blinkers for the first time to her race day equipment to help her stay focused and get her a little closer early. With the hedge, filly and several stretch-out sprinters, there would appear to be enough pace signed on to ensure a fast/contested race. That scenario, if it plays out, would help her cause.

(# 8) Risky Agenda - Speed figures have improved with the switch to the turf. Four-year-old by Dynaformer, would also be aided by some swift fractions up front to help soften the leaders up a bit.

(# 1) Slewfoundmoney - Beautifully bred filly improved right away with the switch to the infield. Showed speed in last and stayed on very well, finishing second and defeating the top pick in the process. There is other speed in the race so she may be under the gun from the start.

(# 4) Wild Hoots - Expensive ($900,000) daughter of Unbridled's Song, makes three-year-old seasonal and turf debut today for trainer Kiaran McLaughlin. Nice works on view, but the obstacles are there. Giving away valuable seasoning to the top three.
