HECKLED (6) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at her latest appearance over 1m1f at Keeneland (Turf).Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice.SRI LANKA (3) returns from a spell of three months.Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when eighth over 1m2 1/2f at Kentucky (Turf).Has ability and should be right in the finish.HAPPY CHARGER (12) has Jareth Loveberry going aboard after she was well held last time out in tenth over 1m at Churchill Downs (Dirt).Rates highly on best form so worth another chance.NOBLE BERNADETTE (4) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 4 lengths, after being in the firing line on the bend at her latest appearance over 1m1f at Churchill Downs (Turf).Appeals as a top-four contender.
