INDEPENDENCE WAY (5) finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in fourth on turf at Laurel two starts back. Missed the frame in another run on turf last time at Laurel over 1m1/2f when 4 lengths adrift in fourth. Tough to beat if near her best. Expecting improvement. WARRIORS JEWEL (3) finished third last time out over 6f at this track (Dirt), making it six career minor placings. Has weighed in at all five tries over this distance. Well placed here and should run a big race. CASTASPELLA (9) has not raced since her debut on August 15 over 6f at this track (Dirt) when she finished fourth, beaten 0.8 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under her belt. WAMPY (8) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at Laurel, beaten 16 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to find some form.
