CAROLINA SUN (1) finished 4.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 5½f at Laurel four weeks ago. Steps up in journey. The testing material. X GENE (7) broke through for her maiden win over 6f at Laurel (Dirt) last time. Looks well placed and she is one of the main chances. URBAN DANCER (3) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 1m contest at Penn National last time out by 3.5 lengths. This sets up nicely. SERENA'S SERENADE (4) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 4½f at this track, beaten 13 lengths into ninth. Nicely placed to find some form.
