SO THERE SHE WAS (1) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second in Listed grade at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 6f. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts her right in this. POWER CONNECTION (5) was prominent from the outset on debut last start and held on well for second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 5f at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Likely improver who should go well. SHOWERS (6) is appearing for the first time. By Ghostzapper and is out of the Bob Baffert stable. Any push in betting should be respected. AMORITA (2) is a two-year-old filly on debut by Liam's Map from Cara Bella who has been a wonderful producer including a winner at G1 level. A product of the strong juvenile stable of Richard E Mandella. Promising type who should be about the mark.
