BELLA CLEOPATRA (3) was well in commission when resuming last start over 6½f in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 3.5 lengths. Well placed in this easier race. Among the leading chances this field. FEDE (1) ran above expectations and got up for third at her latest appearance in stakes class at this track (Dirt) over 1m1/2f. Should park just off the speed. Leading contender. KIP THE DISTANCE (2) improved last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 5f at Delta Downs. Goes up a rung or two but she is up to the task. JUST A PHILLY (5) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 5.5 lengths over 6f at this track (Dirt) last time out. Must be respected.
