ARDIS (7) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 1m1/2f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Has a high cruising speed. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to figure in the finish. ABITIBI (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Churchill Downs, beaten 3 lengths into fourth. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. O'BABE (5) is returning from a lay-off of 11 weeks. Finished eighth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 6f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Jeff Greenhill. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal. MIRANDA'S ROCKY (9) last appeared three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs when she finished fifth. This is her first run for the Robert C Cline stable.
