| Post 1 – BLAME THE BEAT – 5/2 – constitution *4 Year Old Light Grey Filly sired by BLAME. *N Lawton will be on the saddle of the 7-time winner. *High speed of 116.453 was posted in a 11F Dirt Race-fst. *Best Rank : # 5 is in the Dirt Long division. BP Projection – Posted high speed in 4yo debut, has maintained near peak speeds in roughly half of its starts, but best speeds have been at 10F to 11F, will be the longest distance and if speeds hold up should be a legitimate contender. | Post 2 – WINTER BEHIND – 9/1 – corza0 *4 Year Old Bay Filly sired by SUMMER FRONT. *J Piotrowski will be on the saddle of the 3-time winner. *High speed of 108.828 was posted in a 14F Dirt Race-fst. *Best Rank : # 90 is in the Dirt Long division. BP Projection – Posted its best speed in April, but hasn’t been able to repeat the performance and will need a big bump to jump to stand a chance against this field. |
| Post 3 – JABUK ANNOY – 9/2 – chatham03 *5 Year Old Roan Mare sired by TAPIT. *B Scott will be on the saddle of the 9-time winner. *High speed of 115.153 was posted in a 14F Dirt Race-fst. *Best Rank : # 7 is in the Dirt Long division. BP Projection – Has been regressing since posting a career high speed late in the 4yo season, falling out of the money in the last three starts, will need to rebound into form to contend in this field. | Post 4 – WAR FOR THE GOLD – 4/1 – zkingab25 *5 Year Old Bay Mare sired by WAR FRONT. *B Child will be on the saddle of the 13-time winner. *High speed of 117.233 was posted in a 13F Dirt Race-fst. *Best Rank : # 6 is in the Dirt Long division.

| Post 5 – NCHUTHNKARST – 9/2 – babysitter274 *5 Year Old Light Grey Mare sired by MEDAGLIA D’ORO. *L Radzinski will be on the saddle of the 8-time winner. *High speed of 114.249 was posted in a 14F Dirt Race-fst. *Best Rank : # 3 is in the Dirt Long division. BP Projection – Will need to rebound to high speed from G1 win in June to be a legitimate contender, but even at lower speeds has only finished out of the money once as a 5yo. | Post 6 – OUTBACK FASHION – 7/1 – outback11 *4 Year Old Bay Filly sired by AMERICAN PHAROAH. *G Scott will be on the saddle of the 5-time winner. *High speed of 108.145 was posted in a 12F Dirt Race-fst. *Best Rank : # 11 is in the Dirt Long division. BP Projection – Has had an extremely successful 4yo season so far with three wins and three places through seven starts, pulling back from 16F will need to see speed improve to contend with this field. |

BP Projection – Has posted 115+ speeds in half of the last six starts, should be a legitimate threat if running at its best, even the lower speeds should be enough to contend for a top placement. |
