(# 2) STAID - Nice try from an outside slot in a race won by a promising filly in Glacken's Gal. Moves inside today and meets a largely untested field. If she can repeat the sub :46 half time, the others will need to break pretty quickly. Trainer Asmussen has very fine numbers with second time starters (23%) and is legendary with his two-year-old work.

(# 6) Desert Scents - Debut filly from the potent Dick Dutrow barn. Trainer is also a good one in all the relevant categories. Works have picked up a bit of late.

(# 7) Exonerated - Comes here for top conditioner Motion from his home-base of the Fair Hill training center in Maryland. Cost $105,000 as a yearling, and the works, especially the one on May 31, look sharp. Mr. Prado is aboard the first-time starter.
