TANTI AUGURI (2) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 5½f at this track (Turf) four weeks ago. Sure to improve and can make it back-to-back wins. QUANTUM BURST (11) went forward over 1m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time and held on for second. Can spear across from the awkward gate. Expected to be in the finish. PONDERING (3) resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. Did win at her only other when resuming run when on debut, scoring over 5½f at Ellis Park. Capable of playing a major role. FINE FINISH (9) finished second two runs back at Churchill Downs (Turf) then improved last time out to score by 4.5 lengths as favourite over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run.
