(# 1) Batesse - Filly has shown steady improvement in her three starts since recent layoff. Tired just a bit in her last race to finish third after setting brisk fractions. Cuts back a half furlong today and draws the rail. She's proven capable at higher levels last season and if she brings her "A" game will be tough to catch in here. Trainer Larry Bates quietly putting up good numbers at this stand. All three career wins have been accomplished at today's six-furlong distance.

The Plays: $20 to win and place on #1.
Total Wager = $ 40.00.
