BIG TROUBLE (5) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing half a length from the winner in second over 5½f at this track (Turf). Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. BEAUTIFUL MISCHIEF (6) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing fifth over 5½f at this track (Dirt) last start. Can bounce back. ALEXIS ROSE (11) made her debut last start at a big quote but defied the market to grab third, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 5½f at this track (Turf). Has ability and is among the chances. LYRICAL PARDON (14) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third over 6½f at Delta Downs. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
