Kentucky.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A field of 12 mares will assemble on Saturday, and a handful have been running some very quick times of late, so it should be a very speedy mile.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">The favourite, <B>ALSO SWEET<\/B>, lines up against the prodigal mare who flashed home to beat her last time against all odds, <B>ALY STORM<\/B>.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>They look the two to beat on that form, but a couple of handy mares in the wide out posts appear more than capable of upsetting that duo.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">With no genuine front-runners in the race, one of the starters may need to change tactics if left in the lead early on.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This could prove to be either an advantage or a disadvantage, as most of the field are late closers.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">\u00a0<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/><o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal

5yo mare by Summer Squall.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Has amassed almost $4MIL in prizemoney, and lines up this weekend as the underdog, after not having won a race since the end of May last year.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN><I>sdmf2<\/I> has given her almost two months off since she only battled home in the Distaff Delpenn Championship, and hopefully that will prove to be just what she needs to return to her best.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Look for some improvement.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm

to her best last time when came with a late charge, but ran out of room to finish third in the George\u2019s Burglar Memorial.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Prior to that, she had nothing left in the final stages to weaken badly over 10 furlongs at Grade I level.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Can be very good on her day, but can be temperamental.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She should be finishing strongly, and if the speed suits her throughout, she has a chance to come home over the top.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Place best.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">PP3 <B>TECHNICALLY T (IRE)<\/B> ID#41780

style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She hasn\u2019t topped an SP# of 100 since winning the Grade 3 Poor Mona Lisa Handicap in June last year.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Although her form is not outstanding, if she can position herself up in a handy spot in running, she is a place chance, but will need a lot of luck to beat some of these.<\/P><P

class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Rises back up to Graded stakes here, after lasthope1 dropped her back to Allowance company last time to help her find the winners circle.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She spent the whole of last year running into top-notch Graded fields and wasn\u2019t able to break through.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Was eye catching in her last start win, coming from over 10 lengths off them, albeit in a slowly run race.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It is worrying that she hasn\u2019t been able to match it at this level since her 2yo days, and with so many late closers in the race, it\u2019s hard to see her beating all of them, but would be good to see her storming home.<\/P><P

style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">Lightly raced 4yo filly was tried on the turf in a sprint last time after her Grade I disappointment two starts ago.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The switch back to a dirt route may prove to be the spark required to return her to the form that saw her go top two at her first seven starts and win an Allowance race with an SP# of 105.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s looking for her breakthrough stakes win here, and although there are easier races around, she is over the odds at 17\/1.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Look for her to be getting home.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm

fail in the Bluegrass Oaks last May.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Ran out of room last time, so the extra distance here will be in her favour.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Another who\u2019ll be getting home late, but has fallen short when coming from too far back in this company, so hopefully she sits up a bit closer to the speed.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Can\u2019t dismiss, but will need to be at her best.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P class=MsoNormal

graded level, since returning to the track after two years away.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She would have been easy to leave out of contention here if it wasn\u2019t for her blistering win in the Arkansas Belle Grade 2 Stakes last time out, with an SP# of 110.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>That run was good enough to knock off <B>ALSO SWEET<\/B>, the morning line favourite here.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>They meet each other again after a nice break and a repeat of their last starts would see them finish top 2 again.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>On her last start effort, she looks to be the one to beat again.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\">\u00a0<o:p><\/o:p><\/P><P

starts in Allowances, this Seeking The Gold filly will be up against it here.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Not able to beat a runner home in her two stakes appearances to date, she has topped SP#100 only once in her lightly raced career.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Has been competitive in Allowances, but the step up to Grade II looks too sharp.<\/P><P

to just fall short by quarter of a length in the Ouchy Nips Specials Grade III last time, and that run suggests she is well suited to this.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is coming in for her third run in six weeks, so should be at peak fitness, and any improvement would see her challenge the favourite.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Doesn\u2019t usually fall too far out of her ground, which will put her ahead of the other late closers.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Go well again.<\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm

many backmarkers in the field, it may be left up to this 5yo light grey mare to take up the running.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is most comfortable when close up on the leader, but may find the lack of a clear front-runner to her advantage if she can pinch a decent break on them before the stretch.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Has hit a purple
