(# 4) SPEAKING OUT - Showed much improved speed adding blinkers and dropping to this level for the first time at Saratoga on August 4. She held extremely well while setting a pressured pace in a swiftly run race. That clearly was a dramatic turnaround which was helped by a good post after drawing post No. 10 in five of her least seven starts. She gets a positive trainer change to Parisella, who took this horse for his main clients. She should continue to demonstrate her new found speed with the hood on, while returning from a freshening. She appears to own a tactical advantage over her main rivals, and has run well over Belmont Park grass courses in the past at longer distances. Cutting back to a flat mile, switching to Coa off the claim should bode well for yet another strong showing.

(# 9) Marina Market - Freshened up and takes smart drop in class for hot barn. Deserving favorite but I question the sharp plunge in class. This is an even bigger drop as it's with non winners of two lifetime after facing multiple winners.

(# 2) Any Minute Now - Set pressured pace in last. Clearly prefers to rate. Consistent form in prior starts at this level.
