IRINA'S CHARM (5) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6½f at Keeneland, beaten 0.8 lengths into fourth. Goes up a rung or two but she is worth another chance. PERFECT SHOT (12) was unplaced on debut then last start finished second over 1m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MISHKA (6) debuted six-and-a-half weeks ago when she finished fourth over 1m at Keeneland (Turf), beaten 2.5 lengths. Can improve sharply. TAKETHESILVER (11) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished fifth over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Solid top-three hope.
