(# 2) TARA DRIVE - Ran much improved professional type race last out. Stalked pace, tried winner and continued about her business without winning. Probably will stalk the likely pace of #5 After Cindy, and go after her around the far turn. May have enough to outkick her to the finish.

(# 5) After Cindy - As mentioned above, the speed of the event. After her initial run trainer Ed Perdue added lasix and blinkers and she has responded with two frontrunning efforts that resulted in good tries. Has worked since last and that's always a positive sign.

(# 3) Magic River - This is not a strong field for the level and this filly has shown enough to be competitive with these. Is drawn towards the inside and saving ground will help her cause.

(# 6) By the Hour - Has four second place and eight thirds in sixteen lifetime starts. Was claimed two back and ran a good second in first start for new connections. Small slice closing late is best scenario.
