YES TO CHAMPAGNE (2) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 12 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 6½f at Churchill Downs, beaten 18 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so she can take this out. BELLE CHERIE (1) was last at the races when she finished fourth over 7f at Keeneland (Dirt) on October 10. Should be hard to stop. SHE'S NOT A JOKE (8) finished fifth over 1m at Listed level at Prairie Meadows (Dirt) at her most recent appearance on June 8. Comes here with definite top-three claims. UP ON THE EDGE (10) was beaten 8 lengths into sixth in a 6f contest at Churchill Downs last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
