WAY TO BE MARIE (3) is racing well without winning, including last start when third over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at this track (Turf). Has a fair record at this trip with a win and four minor placings so a big run is anticipated. TUFANI (4) missed the frame when resuming last start over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at this track (Turf) but wasn't all that far from the winner. Expected to feature in the finish. FUN WITH FLAGS (1) is a handy type who resumes after a break of nine months. Only appeared once last prep when she finished ninth over 1m1 1/2f in the G1 Belmont Oaks Invitational at Aqueduct (Turf), beaten 10 lengths. Has a very strong record when resuming including two wins. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be competitive. WILD BOUT HILARY (10) has notched up two dirt track wins in a row, the latest scoring by a nose at Oaklawn Park over 1m1/2f six weeks ago. Will find this much easier. Well placed and not to be discounted.
