INTO ROYALTY (8) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1m at this track (Dirt), finishing fourth and beaten 2.75 lengths. Has ability and looks sure to measure up. MADAM OPUS (7) is a three-year-old filly by Practical Joke out of Choir stepping out on debut for the Chad C Brown stable. One to keep close tabs on, particularly if popular with punters. MADELINE'S PROMISE (1) was never in contention when 27 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs last start, a less impressive effort than her fifth on debut at Keeneland the run before. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. GEAUX AMY (4) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 6f at this track (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
