MAGICAL BETTE (10) has not appeared since racing on the speed on debut and finishing third over 5f at Aqueduct (Dirt) on June 15. Likely improver and looks well placed to be in the finish again. MACLEAN'S LULLABY (8) placed two starts ago at Horseshoe Indianapolis but could only manage fourth last time, beaten 5 lengths, over 6f on dirt at Churchill Downs. First try on synthetic. Harder to beat this time. TRUTHORCONSEQUENCE (5) did little and finished 14 lengths from the winner in sixth over 5f at Churchill Downs last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth at Keeneland the run before. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is perfectly placed to score. MISS PHARAOH (11) has not raced since her debut back on October 12 when she finished ninth over 6f at Keeneland (Dirt). Worth following up.
