CHARRIERE (8) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a third after she was well back on straightening over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can take the next step and salute. SARA MIA (3) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she settled well back over 5½f at Churchill Downs, beaten 1.4 lengths into fifth. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. HIDEKI (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at Churchill Downs, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has the class to produce a better result. SAMAY (4) was beaten 4 lengths into fifth in a 1m contest at this track two weeks ago. No surprise to see her in the frame.
