Classy filly is currently the #8 rated Older Dirt Sprint Female in the world she is 1 of 4 Grade One winners in the field. She finished 2nd beaten just 3/4 length last time out in the Gr.1 6f The Princess Looney and she comes into this race in career best form. Expect this closing sprinter to fire another big shot here. She is the 9/2 co-second choice

Consistent filly has hit the board in 8 of 14(57%) including 3 of 5(60%) in Grade One company. Accomplished filly is currently ranked the #2 Dirt Sprint Older Filly or Mare in the world and she looks primed to extend her graded stakes winning streak to 4 in this Grade One event.

Her only two off the board finishes in stakes were also her only two attempts in Grade One company but those were as a 3 year old and she has taken a big step forward since then.

Owner/Trainer:asrstar7
4 year old Grade Two winning filly by Uncle Mo has a record of 4 wins, 2 seconds, and 1 third in 14 career starts with lifetime earnings of over $400,000.

She has hit the board in 7 of 14(50%) in her career including 2 stakes victories. Improving filly has graded success but she is 0 for 2 in Grade One competition and she will have to take another step forward if she is going to outkick some of the main contenders here. She is 9/1.

Consistent runner has hit the board of 15 of 28(54%) including her first stakes placing last time out. Veteran mare is the most experienced in the race with 28 starts but she is has yet to factor in 3 graded stakes attempts and she is still seeking her first career stakes win. Solid allowance runner appears to be in deep waters here. Her morning line odds are 7/1

Consistent filly has hit the board in 8 of 13( 62%) with 1 stakes placing in 2 tries. Class is a big question mark here for a filly still in search of her first stakes win but she may end up being the lone speed in the race which is always dangerous. She is the longest shot on the board at 13/1

Consistent filly has hit the board in 12 of 16(75%) including two Grade Two victories. Classy filly has comes into this race in career best form and she may still have the right to improve off of a career best effort last time out. She has run well in Grade One competition before and she has a good shot at breaking through in this one. She is 7-1

Owner/Trainer:hold4old

Accomplished filly would go on to win the 6.5f Gr.3 Rancho Renaldo in August of last year and has not won a race in a year since although she has placed in 3 graded stakes events in that time. Veteran mare may be on the other side of the hill when it comes to her peak but she has back class and can still put in a good run on her best day. She has been installed as the 7/2 morning line favorite
9.Cosmic Ripple
Owner/Trainer:epic
5 year old Grade One winning mare by War Front has a record of 8 wins, 2 seconds, and 2 thirds in 20 career starts with lifetime earnings of over $925,000.

Consistent mare has hit the board in 12 of 20(60%) including 3 stakes victories. Accomplished mare has won a Grade One in each of the last two seasons but she has not hit the board in her last two tries. Race flow may be in her favor as she has early tactical speed and the top contenders like to come from the back of the pack. She is the 9/2 co-second choice
