(# 8) MISS BLARNEY STONE - New York bred who spent her early years in Ireland, was recently repatriated, and ran a big race in her first effort in the U.S., finishing third at this level. She should move forward, as that was her first contest since last October. Daughter of Dynaformer ran against colts and huge fields in Ireland, as is the norm overseas. Should win this race.

(# 10) My Dear Annie - Freshened up after a rather dull pair of races to begin her three-year-old season. Has some speed, a good post and think she'll run better off the freshening. Showed some promise and ability at two.

(# 6) Cagey Girl - Has speed, is improving, working well and has a shot on the front-end. Believe that she won't be alone in the try for the top.

(# 5) Nedjma - Cuts back in distance, and has not shown any early gear in her grass races. She may get buried early in here, which would make for a difficult task.
