SAPELLO LA FINA (10) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 7½f at Turf Paradise, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Going up a level this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. ROSATO (7) last appeared seven weeks ago over 6½f at Churchill Downs when she finished tenth. This is her first run for the Joel H Marr stable. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. INNOCENCE (3) is a talented filly who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 19 lengths behind Reliable Source over 6f at Listed level at Zia Park (Dirt). Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Strong claims on best figures. STUBBY (1) has been racing consistently including a last start second over 6f at Zia Park, beaten 0.3 lengths. Likely to be about the mark again.
