AUDACIOUS (4) started at 11/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths at Saratoga (Dirt) over 7f after being in contention on the bend. This is a nice drop in grade so she is likely to play a big role. TOO MANY KISSES (6) is back from a lay-off of six months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 7f at this track (Dirt). Solid chance. PRINCESS MAYFAIR (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when eighth over 7f at Woodbine, beaten 10 lengths. Has the talent to take care of this field. MONARCH (7) looks to kick off this prep the way she ended the last four months ago when she scored over 7f at Churchill Downs. One of the main contenders.
