No. 1 Love in the Air (6-1) hit the board in all four turf starts and was miles clear of the show finisher in a state bred stakes race on soft turf at Penn National June 3. The consistent filly is sharp and versatile and might move up in her third start after a layoff.
No. 3 Princess Grace (9-5) ran last in her Eatontown (G3) return and that was the first time she finished out of the top three in ten carer outings. The multiple graded stakes winner captured this event last year and Florent Geroux is 2-for-2 with her.
No. 4 Flirting Bridge (9-2) went last-to-first from the outside post in her stateside bow May 29. She gets tested for class and will try to get involved late.
No. 5 Classic Lady (4-1) is a sharp, versatile New York-bred stakes winner for the productive Rosario/Clement team. The veteran mare does some of her best work at this distance.
