No. 9 Lure’em In (7-2) woke up when switched to turf in her last pair. She was sharp in her maiden win March 12 and showed nice late interest in a show finish at Churchill last time. She improved her speed ratings in all four starts and is bred to go this far. 

No. 4 Flashy Gem (8-5) disappointed in the Edgewood Stakes at Churchill on May 5. Brad Cox’s early-pressing filly was in good form prior to her last and should impact the pace. 

No. 6 Lil Miss Moonlight (9-2) was part of the exacta in all five special-weight routes. The improving filly can stalk or close.  

No. 1 Knockyoursocksoff (6-1) packs a decent late kick and can come running for a share in her second start after a short layoff.
