No. 6 Timeless Journey (9-2) might work out a decent tactical trip under Joel Rosario. She won a similar-state bred stakes race at Aqueduct on March 12. Her recent form is a bit darkened, and the freshening probably helps. She fits with these and should offer value. 

No. 2 Sunset Louise (5-2) wired the field in her last three starts. She is 2-for-2 at Saratoga and 4-for-5 with a runner-up finish at this distance. 

No. 3 Know It All Audrey (8-1) has the speed to succeed and might show a bit more in her second start after a short layoff. She enjoys this distance, and the price should be right.
