COMMENTS: FREE DROP MADDY ran the top last race speed figure and has been the favorite in four of her five starts. NORAH G won her debut and ran away from a field of 12 at the end. DONTCALLMEPATSY should be better in her second start after a layoff. ADDI BUG could be near peak form in her third start after a layoff. |

COMMENTS: WINNING ROMANCE never ran off the board in six at Fair Grounds. A GS CHARLOTTE ran the highest last race speed figure and could go higher in race three off the break. FORT POLK ran better pace numbers and fractions through the first half mile in her last outing. SHES GONE DWILD is another looking to be her best in the classic third start after a layoff. |

COMMENTS: BRIANS IRON MIKE tends to make a big mid move which can be important in sprints. TOUCHUPONASTAR won three of five starts and when he wins it is by wide margins. BERTIES GALAXY has five wins and three seconds in 11 at the Fair Grounds. SCARLETTSCLACKJACK has some superior early pace numbers at times and is a major threat if he gets in. |
