MARKSMAN QUEEN (2) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second when resuming last time out over 1m1/2f at Woodbine. Has the class to take care of this field. SAND AND SEA (8) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when sixth, beaten 55 lengths, over 1m4f in Listed grade at Churchill Downs (Turf) after she travelled towards the rear of the field. Has a solid record at the third run in and is capable of sharp improvement. VALENTINA DAY (5) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs after being prominent at the turn. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. SHE'S FIRE (6) scored last start at this track (Synthetic) to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Has three wins from six starts at this circuit. Not to be discounted.
