SADDLE UP JESSIE (9) Placed in a Group 2. Went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at Laurel (Dirt). Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. Group 2 placegetter VENTI VALENTINE (7) could only manage fifth on dirt over 1m1f at Saratoga in a then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1m1/2f at Saratoga more recently. Nice class drop this time. Expected to be in the finish. MAGICAL LUTE (3) has been mixing her form recently including last time out when she was well held over 1m in Listed grade at Ellis Park (Dirt). Nice class drop this time. Should be involved in the finish. MISS NEW YORK (12) is coming along nicely this prep, scoring by 3.5 lengths last start over 1m1/2f at Laurel (Dirt). Solid top-three prospects.
