ARRASOU (13) last appeared when seventh over 5½f at Saratoga (Turf). Steps out over more ground now off a seven weeks freshen-up. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. CRUISE MISSILE (1) finished 8 lengths away in eighth last time out over 6f at Churchill Downs when when resuming from a lay-off. Steps up in distance. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Among the leading chances. LADY ABERDEEN (11) is close to a win after four minor placings in a row, the latest a very close second over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). C Lanerie stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Capable of running a bold race. EFFERVESCENT (3) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has ability and worth including.
