DAZZLING BLUE (5) returns after a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 6f at Churchill Downs. Looks a winning chance. RUTHLESS RUA (3) recorded another success last time over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) making it two straight wins this campaign. Expected be in the finish again over the same trip. UNSOLVED MYSTERY (2) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 7f at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten one length. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is good enough to play a major role. AUTUMN EVENING (6) finished 2.25 lengths back in third in stakes company last time over 6f in stakes class at Aqueduct (Dirt). Did win in a by 0.3 lengths at Aqueduct (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Solid claims on best form.
