No. 5 Sol Hope (3-1) won all four turf-sprint attempts at Colonial Downs. She likes to stalk the pace and should get the jump on the closers. 

No. 9 Covenant Lady (7-2) is a competent turf sprinter turning back in distance. She rallied for the win at five panels on the turf course at Horseshoe Indy on Sept. 12. 

No. 6 Insatiable (5-1) exits a turf-sprint win at Monmouth Park. She picks up sharp local rider Samy Camacho and should finish at a hint of a price. 

No. 10 Tracy Ann’s Legacy (9-2) is a veteran mare with a strong local turf record. She scored twice at this course and distance earlier this year.
