DANCEWHENYOUCAN (2) Threw down a serious challenge last time at Keeneland and will try to take advantage of the barrier. First appearance for a new trainer but taking on stronger opponents. Serious player. QUEEN OF QUEENS (5) Came in 5th last run at Keeneland. Has the potential to improve sharply but facing stiffer opposition. Will be hitting the line strongly. Yomar Ortiz Jr provides some weight relief. Must respect. NO WHAT IFS (6) Struggled with the pace when 5th last time at Keeneland. Has the ability to turn things around but racing against tougher rivals. Can figure. MADELINE'S PROMISE (7) Racing fresh today after a break. Bold effort when winning last time at Saratoga but testing ability against stronger contenders. Displays good tactical speed. Respect in this event.

Started at $69.00 and lost ground in the run home when 5th last run at Horseshoe Indianapolis but matched against less formidable competition. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will be a difficult test.

Right up there last time at Keeneland and has a good draw. Racing for a new trainer but up against a more competitive field. Should get going late. Very capable of taking this out.

At $14.00 couldn't stay in touch when 6th last time at Keeneland. Should improve but stepping up to a higher level. In the mix against these.

Started at $3.60 and finished 5th last run at Keeneland. Has the potential to improve sharply but up against a higher level of opposition. Expected to be flashing home. Chance and can measure up.

Fresh after a break. Strong effort to the line to win last time at Saratoga but racing in stronger company. Has plenty of early speed. Reasonable chance.
