RAGTIME (9) built on a nice second two starts back in the G1 Test Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) with success as public elect over 7f in the G3 Dogwood Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by 2. 25 lengths. Junior Alvarado scored on her last time and retains the mount. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she can win again. USHA (8) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 6½f at Del Mar (Dirt). Tackling a deeper field this time but she is up to the task. REPUTATION (6) was on a winning run of two races but last time out finished third over 7f at Gulfstream Park. Hard to fault and can atone. QUIETSIDE (11) is back from a break of five-and-a-half months. Scored back-to-back wins before running below her best at the last run of the prep, finishing sixth over 1m1f in the G1 Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Good effort at the start of last prep to score over 6f at Saratoga. Shapes as one to consider.
