SPIRIT WIND (4) good effort last start when third over this distance at Listed level at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten 2 lengths. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts five wins and three placings. Among the leading chances. MYSTIC LAKE (7) returns from a lay-off of three months and did win when resuming last time in work over 7f in stakes class at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). Key runner. INTREPID DAYDREAM (2) is back from a break of five months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when fifth over 6f at Listed level at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Has a high cruising speed. Will be in this for a long way. SOCIALLY SELECTIVE (6) has not raced since she finished off last campaign with a strong win over 6½f at this track (Dirt) ten months ago. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. In the mix.
