(# 1) BREAK FOR DIAMONDS - Comes back today off a two-month layoff for trainer Joe Catanese. Filly displayed sharp speed against better before her freshening. Drops in price for the return race and draws the rail. Trainer is 14% with this type returnee.

(# 6) Blushing Tiger - Three second-place finishes out of her last four starts, all at this at the $16K price tag. Only sub-par performance was in a mile event. No reason why she won't run well.

(# 3) Flor de Canela - Returns from an August layoff for Larry Bates. Pair of recent drills indicate she may retutn a better animal.

(# 8) Red Hot Romance - Improvement in all three races on view. Journeyman jockey takes over the reins. Filly has had apprentice's aloft in all three to date.
