DON'T SAY IT (5) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of ten months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 6f at Aqueduct (Dirt). Can make a winning return. STAGE PRESENCE (13) ran below expectations last time at Aqueduct (Turf), finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths starting at 9/2. Faces an easier assignment so she will be hard to beat. MIA MARCELA (7) was never in contention when 9 lengths from the winner in eighth over 5½f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her when resuming sixth at Churchill Downs the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MIYAKO (8) finished 6 lengths from the winner in fifth at her most recent outing over 5f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after she was well back on straightening. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her.
