#8 RATAJKOWSKI (7-2) is a razor sharp NY-bred exiting three straight wins. The lightly raced 5yo mare owns competitive numbers and might be able to get out there and control the pace.

#3 Mylady Curlin (7-2) is having a very good year for Brad Cox, and she is 2-for-2 at this distance.

#6 Sally’s Curlin (3-1) rallied to win her last three starts at one mile. She likes this oval and we will see if she can handle a mile and an eighth.

#9 Go Google Yourself (3-1) exits back-to-back stakes wins. She owns tactical speed and likes this oval.
