No. 7 Kachina (8-1) defeated Monday’s favorite Dicey in a state-bred allowance race at seven panels last November. She won her lone outing at this distance and finished in the top three in all six local attempts. The price might be right.  

No. 8 Sinnin N Grinnin (5-1) is a fresh, early-pressing mare with six exacta finishes from as many local starts. She chased the pace and finished a close second in this event last year. 

No. 10 Dicey (5-2) won four races last year. The veteran mare runs well fresh and should be all over the pace from the outside post. She won this race in 2022. 

No. 3 Gotta See Red (6-1) is a four-time local winner making her first start since November 2023. She can compete with these on her best day and should offer value. 

No. 2 Take Me Serious (3-1) makes her first start since December 2022. Her wins were accomplished at longer distances and she might need the outing. She sports a trio of local works for this and should be part of the pace.
