BACKED BY GOLD (8) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Has the ability to take care of this field. JACKSON'S DIXIE (1) missed the placings two runs back then was never in contention last start when 20 lengths away in eighth over 6f at Saratoga. Faces an easier assignment so she is perfectly placed to score. ICY REPLY (6) last appeared when she finished fifth over 6f at Saratoga (Dirt) on August 11. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. BANK ON ANNA (4) has not won for a long while. Last raced on September 13 when beaten 13 lengths into fifth at this track (Dirt) over 7f after she gave away a big start. Likely improver who should be in the mix.
