JUST LIKE YOU (4) proved too strong two runs ago at Keeneland. Not as effective last time out when fifth over 7f at Churchill Downs, beaten 4.5 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. SENSE OF PEARL (5) improved sharply on her ninth two starts back at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf) with a win over 6f at this track (Synthetic) two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Likely to be there at the finish again. ASIAN MATRIARCH (10) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 3 lengths, over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is perfectly placed to score. LITTLE SISTER SUE (6) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7f at Churchill Downs, beaten 3 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
