HERE'S A QUARTER (3) ran below expectations last time at this track (Turf) over 7f, finishing eighth and beaten 8 lengths. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. CREME DE LA QUEEN (2) finished third two runs back at Charles Town (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 5 lengths as public elect over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Christian Maldonado scored on her last time and retains the mount. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LUCKY BOP (1) has accrued two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Produced another good performance last start when second over 7f at this track (Turf). Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. REMY'S HOTSHOT (6) has been kept fresh since finishing third over 4½f at Charles Town (Dirt) a month ago. Was a determined winner when fresh from a lay-off two runs back. Should be prominent from the outset. One of the better hopes.
