WAILUA (3) wasn't far away when resuming last start when fourth over 5f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). May appreciate the longer journey with that run under the belt. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts her right in this. LIL GIN N CLASS (5) has been in the placings her past two starts, finishing second over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time out. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. HIGH FASHION KATE (1) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 2.5 lengths last time over 6f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Winning rider Jim Graham sticks. Has winning claims on best figures. MISS PEABODY (8) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 6 lengths at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 6f. Gerardo Corrales who has two wins when partnering stays on. Not to be discounted.
