TRUE EMPRESS (8) finished third two runs back at Saratoga (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 5 lengths as favourite over 6f at this track (Dirt). L E Perez scored on her last time and retains the ride. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. NO CHALK (6) ran well below her best last time over 5½f at Delaware Park (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths into fourth at 7/2. Anthony Rodriguez who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Best form puts her right in this. MISS BETTY (3) fought on well for second last start over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt), making it three minor placings in a row. Change of jockey to Andrew Ramgeet who has a strong record when aboard, including seven wins. One of the main contenders. GONE AND FORGOTTEN (4) had been racing well with seven consecutive placings before last start managing only fifth over 1m1/2f at this track. Has never missed the frame here at this journey in 14 starts, including eight wins. Not to be discounted.
