BABKA (6) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 20 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1m at this track, beaten 28 lengths. This is a nice drop in grade so she is a major player. MARQUET CLASSIC (7) last appeared eight weeks ago over 5f at this track when she finished second. This is her first run for the Jay P Bernardini stable. Capable of playing a major role. AGUILA DEL RIO (3) ran well below her best last time over 5½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths into fourth at 4/1. Blinkers come off. Expected to be competitive. R B'S BIG MOMENT (1) won at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to bounce back.
