LINDA'S JEWEL (9) was lining up for just the second time last start when fourth over 5½f at Saratoga, beaten 1.1 lengths. Should settle in the leading division. Rates highly on debut effort and should go well. NILO'S ROSE (2) is a daughter of Promises Fulfilled from the Listed winner Summer's Indy who makes her debut. Drawn well and can make a bright start. MELLE MEL (6) was well in the market on debut over 5½f at Saratoga (Dirt) last start and finished fourth, beaten 5 lengths. Strong top-three chance. TECA (5) ran below expectations last time at Saratoga (Turf), finishing ninth and beaten 28 lengths. Should be competitive in this suitable race.
