ALICIT INTENTION (5) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 6f. Bold showing expected with the blinkers added. SHE'S WICKED SMART (4) turned in a good effort on debut eight months ago when 2.75 lengths away in third at Saratoga (Dirt) over 6f. Has not been to the races since that outing. Will be better for that race experience and is a solid top-three chance. HALSTYN ROSE (7) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 5f at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic). Has ability and cannot be overlooked. SARIR (8) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 6½f at Aqueduct (Dirt). Has ability and must be included in calculations.
