(# 5) EARHART - Drops dramatically for her first race for trainer Mike Hushion. Formerly with Tom Bush and Graham Motion, so mare has been in some good barns. Probably will wind up stalking in here, but a try for the top in this mostly paceless group would be no surprise.

(# 8) College Girl - Very close to the top pick on ability, and she has speed, goes second off a layoff, and draws a good post. Lots of things to like. One of the top two should win this.

(# 2) Roxanne's Dancer - Still has some ability, and her last pair show some forward movement. Has been successful around two-turns, but in this field, she has strong finishing power.

(# 7) Shoot the Bugler - Drops considerably for this and that can only help her be more competitive. She's been stale of late, but may sneak into the bottom of the exotics.
