No. 5 Scottish Symphony (7-2) is a Mendelssohn first time starter with back-to-back bullet workouts at Woodbine. Mark Casse’s filly seems to have some ability and might hit the ground running in this stakes race.
No. 7 Flor de Sombra (9-5) might be the best of the speed types. She wired the field in her first two dirt sprints and exits a clear runner-up finish in a stakes race at Parx.
No. 8 Pachelbel (4-1) improved her speed ratings in all four dirt sprint starts at Parx. She stalked the pace and finished in front of Flor de Sombra last time.
No. 3 Warrior’s Ransom (6-1) turned back and graduated as the strong favorite at this course and distance last time. She should get pace to chase and might come running for a share.
