No. 2 LEXINATOR (3-1) struggled in a pair of starts at Gulfstream Park earlier this year. She does some of her best work at this venue and should make her presence felt from the outset for quality connections. Both local works for this were fast and she might be the one to catch turning for home.
No. 1 American Goddess (9-5) was a bit hard to handle but ended up stalking and easily scoring vs. local entry level foes as the even money favorite May 24. She figures to save all the ground behind the speed and is a logical win contender in her third start after a layoff.
No. 4 Music Amore (7-2) exits a sharp front running victory in a restricted local flat mile event and Gerald Brooks claimed her for $20k that day. She turns back in distance and is entered for the $40k tag. Kazushi Kimura wins races with this barn and the sophomore filly might not be out of this.
