(# 1) GOOD MOOD - Filly has faced good-sized fields both here and in France. That's a big plus, as she knows how to run in traffic, and has what it takes to overcome some adversity. Draws the hedge, Prado sticks and has a very sharp work on the training-track grass course.

(# 10) Ruthierene - All races are excellent, and all have been on the grass. Post is a difficult one as I don't know where she'll wind up after the first turn. Needs to try and save some ground without falling too far back.

(# 8) Classic Neel - Could turn to out to be a real nice filly. Bred top-and-bottom for the grass, and daughter of El Corredor took to it immediately at Gulfstream this past Feb. Ran well in a pair of stakes, and trainer McLaughlin has given her some R & R after racing five times in the spring. Light work tab means she left in top shape. Ready to roll.

(#'s 3 and 5) Dashes and Dots and Ms. Tizzynow - This pair should be used in small ways with the top pick. More underneath, and less on the top.
