GOURMET (3) started at 15/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 6½f after being prominent at the turn. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. SHEHANAH (2) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. SCARLET'S DREAM (4) returned from a lay-off three-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 17 lengths into sixth over 7f at this track. Faces an easier assignment so she is a leading player. GRAMMY GIRL (6) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 7f at Laurel. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
