CHAPEL STREET (8) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 1.3 lengths into second over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. Will play a major role. BLACK DOG (7) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at this track (Turf) over 1m1/2f, beaten 4.5 lengths. Chance to break her maiden status with that run under her belt. SPUN UP (1) finished second last time over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 2 lengths. Won't find this as tough so she will be hard to beat. SOMETHING STRONGER (9) showed good early speed last start on debut and fought on well to hold second, beaten 6 lengths, over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Can figure in the finish.
