WEST OMAHA (7) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 5 lengths over 1m1/4f in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Meeting a deeper field this time but she is good enough to play a major role. Group 2 winner INTRICATE (4) finished off last campaign with a win over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs 12 weeks ago. On a turf track for the first time on her return. Tyler Gaffalione has been the pilot at her last two wins. Well placed and should be in the finish. ALPINE PRINCESS (5) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 2 lengths win over 1m1/4f at Listed level at this track (Dirt) to make it two on the bounce. Florent Geroux who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Has claims on her best figures. Group 1 placegetter V V'S DREAM (6) lines up for the first time since October 29. Looking to emulate her win at Churchill Downs at the beginning of last prep. Worth plenty of thought.
