DEVIL BLUE DRESS (5) is back from a break of nine weeks. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when seventh over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to stop. SPIRITUAL LADY (7) could only manage fifth on dirt over 6½f at Aqueduct in a then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 5½f at this track more recently. Strong contender back on the dirt. DASHING DELLA (4) fought on well for second last start over 7f at this track (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Expected to run well again. TIL THERE WAS YOU (8) debuted with a win then couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1m at Aqueduct, beaten 17 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.
