MARIPOSA DE PISTA (13) failed to figure again last time over 1m at this track (Synthetic), beaten 10 lengths into seventh. Looks well placed here and can finally break through. KIM POSSIBLE (9) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished fifth over 1m1/2f at Keeneland (Dirt). Nicely placed and expected to go well. BAYTOWN SHINJUKU (6) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish eighth at her latest appearance over 4½f at Charles Town (Dirt) after she was well back on straightening. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. CABARYN (5) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 34 lengths from the winner in seventh over 5½f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Appeals as a top-four contender.
