OUTSPOKEN (8) is yet to break through after four career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Churchill Downs (Dirt) two starts back before finishing tenth over 6f at Turfway Park (Synthetic) last start. Can break through in this suitable contest. AVA'S STORM (3) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start when she made late ground but found one better over 5½f at this track, beaten only half a length. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DELOVELY (7) has switched yards since finishing tenth five weeks ago over 1m at Turfway Park. Has found the right race and is worth including. FAITHFUL STEPS (5) finished third last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt) to make it two minor placings from four runs. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three two times. Worth considering.
