LA LA ROSE (4) was safely held when fourth last start over 6f at Churchill Downs, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a good when resuming win at Churchill Downs. Has the class to figure prominently. OUR DOTSIE (9) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1m at Churchill Downs, beaten 4 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so she is a major player. CABERNEIGH (6) finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being prominent at the bend over 5½f at Churchill Downs, an improvement on her fifth at Keeneland the run before. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is one of the main contenders. MAKEUP (3) is back from a lay-off of nine months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 5½f contest at Keeneland by 4 lengths. Winning claims on best figures.
