No. 2 Secret Money (6-1) exits back-to-back wins from outer posts in 5 1/2-furlong turf sprints in Kentucky. She owns competitive speed ratings and should finish at a hint of a price.
No. 3 Up and Down (5-2) worked out a decent mid-pack trip and made an inside move but could not match strides with the closers in the late going in the Hilltop Stakes at one mile May 19. She cuts back in distance in her third start after a layoff for Chad Brown, and she picks up leading Woodbine rider Kazushi Kimura.
No. 6 Mohawk Trail (8-1) earned a nice late pace rating in a runner-up finish in the Horseshoe Indianapolis Handicap at one mile on May 17. She might be able to rally for a share in this shorter event, and the price should be right.
No. 9 Ryder Ryder Ryder (3-1) pressed outside and scored in her seven\-panel bow, and she stretched out and missed by a neck in the Mazarine Stakes second time out. She returned with a romping win in a listed stakes race as the favorite on May 20. Those three local races were on all-weather ground, and she improved her speed ratings each time. Dam has produced three turf winners.
No. 7 Last Call (4-1) ran into romping winner Ryder Ryder Ryder last time, and that was her first start on all-weather ground. She graduated in the Grade 1 Natalma last year and might be best on turf.
