TAP TO OPEN (1) sets up as the one to beat after leading and finishing 2nd at Oaklawn Park over 1710m last start, beaten 1L, and draws the inside with blinkers on. ATI GIRL (3) is a key chance coming off a 2nd at Churchill Downs over 2012m, beaten 1.5L, and has multiple recent placings around this trip. LADY LAW (7) fits well at 1810m with a strong Fair Grounds record, including back‑to‑back 2nds at 1710m before a close 3rd, beaten 1.1L. MAGIC WOMAN (4) was 3rd behind Tap To Open (1) at Oaklawn over 1710m and can be in the mix again. EPISIST (9) brings a recent Oaklawn 2nd over 1710m and is another place hope.
