(# 7) FANFIRE - Excellent debut run in a well-bet situation on Sept. 9 just missing to a runner with much more racing savvy. Sent back to trainer Dickinson's Tapeta Farm, she has worked there since, and ships back for start No. 2.

(# 9) Show Me How - Has some speed and makes her first start for trainer Tony Dutrow. Unusual for him to take a $2000 horse (that's what she cost). Excellent four-furlong gate work at Monmouth for this.

(# 2) Irish Kahn - Improved significantly in start No. 3. Cuts back in distance and Coa keeps the faith.

(# 's 11 and 12) Biarritz and Fiona Freud - Would use this pair in small exacta boxes with the top selection.
