SASSY SHENANIGANS (2) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark five runs back, the latest effort a third over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Leading contender. LADY ORIENT (7) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track (Dirt) over 1408m after she had travelled in a rearwards position. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. D'S A ROCK (4) was successful last start over 1106m at Finger Lakes (Dirt), getting home by one length to make it three wins in a row. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running another bold race. BEACHES AND PEARLS (3) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 10 lengths to spare over 1673m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Must be respected.
