ACCELERATING (1) resumes after a break of seven months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 6f at Saratoga. Key runner while fresh. KIMCHI CAT (4) is a talented filly who tackled a tougher race at her last run on September 14 and finished 14th behind La Cara over 1m in the G3 Pocahontas Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt). This looks a more suitable assignment. KENTUCKY SMOKESHOW (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) after she was prominent at the corner. Cherry-ripe now and looks a clear threat. GLEE (6) showed good speed and fought on for second over 6f in Listed grade at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) last time. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring three times and placing on two occasions from eight starts. Minor claims.
