NOM DE PLUME (2) has enjoyed a let-up of six-and-a-half weeks since she won when resuming over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), scoring by 5 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and is the testing material. BRU NA BOINNE (4) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 0.3 lengths over 1m1/2f at Keeneland (Dirt). That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from four runs. Big chance once again. LEXA (8) has accrued four minor placings from five runs this campaign. Produced another good effort last start when third over 1m1f in the G3 Falls City Handicap at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after she was handy all the way. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. HOOSIER PHILLY (1) returns from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when seventh over 1m1/2f in the G2 Locust Grove Handicap at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Will drift back but wind up late. Top three prospects.
