Spinaway Stakes winner BRIGHTWORK (3) is a speedy filly who returned from a break with a win over 6f in the G3 Prioress Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt). Goes up a notch this time but she is expected to run well. Multiple Group 1 placegetter CLEARLY UNHINGED (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 0.8 lengths away in second over 7f at Listed level at Charles Town (Dirt). Has the talent to figure prominently. Group 2 winner SPIRIT WIND (4) was well fancied last start over 7f in Listed grade at Charles Town (Dirt) when eighth, beaten 11 lengths. Takes on tougher opposition this time but she should be involved in the finish. ZEITLOS (6) scored last start in Listed grade at Churchill Downs (Dirt) to make it five wins from seven starts this campaign. Form at this distance is strong with five wins from eight starts and cannot be underestimated.
