(# 1A) WHAT'S YOUR POINT - In fine shape at present, and makes her first start for trainer Gary Contessa. Veteran mare has fired off two wins at this meet for two different trainers(Rich Schosberg and Tony Dutrow. Races were new figure tops for her. She draws the best post possible for her style and distance.

(# 2 and 2b) Against the Grain and Strong Presence - Both halves of the Tom Bush trained entry have a good shot. "Grain" is moving back to the dirt after a pair of conditioning races on the grass. "Presence" dead-heated in a race on opening day, and that was a strong race. She had been set up in a pair of grass events.

(# 4) Smokin Sarah - Logical selection, fits on figures, but this is a pretty salty group she's facing, and they are all older runners excepting her and one other.

(# 8) Sunset Cocktail. - Fields other three-year-old has some speed to offer, and reunites with Coa who has been aboard in her best races. Should be a very square price.
