LADY MINE (5) returns from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Closed off last prep in great form including a dominant win over 6f at Belmont Park (Dirt) at her most recent appearance. Sure to be tough to beat. SCORING CHANCE (1) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 7f at this track (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. TRUE EMPRESS (4) went fast early and went on to score by 1.75 lengths last time out over 6f at Finger Lakes (Dirt). Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Taking on a better line-up this time but she cannot be underestimated. SANDY'S GARDEN (13) is a distance specialist who Turned things around last start and landed the prize by 2.5 lengths over 5½f at Finger Lakes (Dirt). Likely to be there at the finish again.
