UBIQUE (6) Fresh today after a break. Finished with purpose when winning last start at Aqueduct. Possesses very good closing speed. Good to see jockey Irad Ortiz Jr is jumping on. Will be competitive. CELESTIAL BODY (1) Resuming after a break. Ran home strongly to win last time at Aqueduct and drawn well. Has early speed and positions nicely. Putting a tidy record together so far. Genuine winning chance. SPARKLING MAMA (8) First up after a break. Finished well when winning last start at Aqueduct and up against a less competitive field. Should race on the speed. Serious player. SPITFIRE (2) Was competitive when 2nd last run at Churchill Downs and can find a nice position from the draw. Should be swooping on the field late.

First run back after spell. Finished hard to win last time at Aqueduct and solid career start. Shows good early pace. Has a nice advantage with a good draw. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Odds of $23.00 and didn't threaten when 4th last time at Aqueduct and challenged by more formidable competitors. Linda Rice stable are having a great run of late. Looks too tough.

Back after a break. Flew home to win last start at Aqueduct. Irad Ortiz Jr is a key booking. Always seems to find the line well. Capable type.

Jumped at $6.50 and hit the line well when 4th last start at Monmouth Park. Jockey Jaime Rodriguez rates highly. Expected to settle towards the rear. Can't have on what it has been showing.

Resumes after a break. Ran over the top of them when winning last start at Aqueduct and facing a weaker grade. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Can win this.
