GRAND FEATURE (3) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Louisiana Downs nine weeks ago. Should park just off the speed. Will play a major role. MY LADY BLUE (4) turned in a fair effort at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) over 1f31yards at her last run five months ago, finishing eighth and beaten 2 lengths. One of the genuine hopes in the race. SOFTELY LEAVING YOU (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 1.75 lengths away in sixth over 0½f at Louisiana Downs. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she cannot be taken lightly. HA CHI CORONA (2) went forward and gave a great sight when second over 1f31yards at The Red Mile (Dirt) last time out. Should stalk the leading division from her low draw. Not to be discounted.
