AKAYLA (4) lines up for the first time since January 14. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1m1/2f at Aqueduct. Now under the care of new trainer Brittany Russell. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. FOR ARROGATE (2) is a three-year-old filly by Arrogate out of Forever Together on debut for the Jonathan Thomas stable. Looks a definite contender, particularly if the money comes. THIS COUNTRY (1) is back from a lay-off of four months. Closed last prep with a sixth, beaten 6 lengths, over 7½f at Gulfstream Park. Deserves serious consideration. CANDY DOLL (3) had support when resuming last time out but never threatened when a disappointing fifth, beaten 10 lengths, over 6f at Pimlico (Dirt).
