| #6 Coastal Kid | He has a little bit of back class to him and has always done good work over the local footing. Think he gets the perfect press and pounce trip today. |
| #4 Unmachable | He can be tough if he brings something similar to the Grade III try last time out, but he lacks early pace and is going to give a big jump to the more tactical players. Worth trying to beat. |
| #5 Stay Fantastic | He brings Hastings form that stacks up pretty well here, but he has not been a threat in a couple of starts in short fields in those last two trips to post. Underlay? |
| Race Summary | Coastal Kid should be able to land a perfect, first-over trip with this group while breaking from the outside, and the logical 9/5 ML favorite Unmachable may come calling too late. |
| #2 Bayakoas Image | She turned her local debut into a laugher when rolling stakes company by better than five, and there's little reason to think she won't turn in another reliable effort from right up on the splits. |
| #5 Rea Mea | She has some pace to stay in the mix early, but she's coming up in class for this one -- still, it's tough to argue with what she did when sent long for the first time. |
| #4 Blazingbellablu | Reliable type was no match for the top choice when they met last time out, and she may come along late for another underneath piece with this bunch. |
| Race Summary | Bayakoas Image should be a handful here with anything similar to her last when romping against nine others in her local debut. Anything similar handles these. |
| #3 Sargent Kline | None of these have been around two turns yet, and this guy at least has some pedigree to see out this trip. He's a maiden who will offer a big price here, but he may appreciate keeping up with a more manageable route tempo. |
| #5 Diamond Willow | He was a decent, if distant, second last time out when when trying stakes company as a maiden, and he should be in line for a pretty great trip tracking the pace while moving around two turns. |
| #1 Boss Nine | He's one of the logical players in here after a useful debut score from close range, and he figures to flash a little bit of pace from the inside while moving around two turns. |
| Race Summary | Sargent Kline will be a price with this group, but he looks like the type who might improve going long in a race where that two-turn trip is a question mark for everyone. |
| #4 Lansdowne | Cruised in his debut and then tired to seventh in the G3 Bashford Manor, a top 2-year-old race at Churchill Downs; put down a 21 flat opening quarter in the Bashford and can dictate the pace in this one. |
| #5 Concept | Still a maiden after two races but was fifth in the Prairie Gold Juvenile last out; capable of being close throughout. |
| #3 Rowdy Rascal | Broke his maiden vs. Oklahoma-breds last out and was tremendous in the final furlong in doing so; takes a significant step up, but the easy win over the strip could work in his favor. |
| Race Summary | Lansdowne has superior early foot and will be a problem for any other that wants the lead; can lead every jump if he can be rated by jockey Court, who has been aboard both of his races. |
| #2 Casual | Hasn't won since an allowance score at Oaklawn in her first of the year but has faced top company, including Gamine (in the G1 Ballerina at Saratoga). Carries a quality late punch and can hammer it home in this one. |
| #6 Sweet Mary M | Ran on for second vs. Oklahoma-breds last time and can be close throughout. |
| #5 Canadian Ginger | Was an easy winner in her last three and makes her first start since June; impressive early speed makes her a big player. |
| Race Summary | Casual has the class in this one and can benefit from following a rapid pace. |
| #1 Pauline's Pearl | Was second in the G3 Charles Town Oaks and just couldn't catch a loose leader in the stretch; won the G3 Fantasy at Oaklawn, and anything close to that can make her very difficult to beat. |
| #7 Lady Mystify | Has good speed, broke her maiden by 18 at Santa Anita and will put down the fractions here; clearly a player. |
| #5 Lovely Ride | Went wire to wire at Parx and has won four of six races; will be close to Lady Mystify during the early going. |
| Race Summary | Pauline's Pearl gets an ideal pace setup and has the late energy to be successful at this distance. |
