(# 2) OFCR. SHEILA T REX - Speed closest to the hedge. Makes her third lifetime start, and ran well in a muddy off-the-turf event last out. That should have made her a lot fitter. Winner of debut has since become a stakes runner.

(# 9) Desafinado - Beaten by the top pick in the off-the-grass event last out. Was well meant that day (Pletcher was adding blinkers), but the race was rained off the infield. Two-turn nature of this event is made for this runner.

(# 12) Justinline - Needs a scratch to compete. Has some speed, and can stalk from very close range. Dangerous if she runs.

(# 5) Queen of Protocol - Interesting play, has competitive races on the grass that fit with these. Is racing into shape, and Donk runners always improve with experience.

(# 3) Ain't We Got Fun - Lone grass was her best. Daughter of Minardi returns to the turf today, and also tries a distance for the first time.
