  1. Quiet Elegance                                   Mb Stables                         Albarado R J

Recently ran at SA in the Grade I Santa Margarita a 1 1/8 mile on the dirt for $500.000 where she finished fourth after being on the lead for the first 6 furlongs.  Prior to that she wired the field at SA in the Grade II La Canada Stakes for a purse of $200.000.  I expect today she will be on the lead, and will try to wire them.  Her SRF number is 89.5.

  1. Christine                                             Wolfs Den                           Velazquez J R

She won an Optional Claimer $62.500 Non Winners 4 going 1 1/16 miles on the soft sod at GP in April.  Prior to that she was claimed of a $25.000 Optional Claimer Non Winners of 2 Races against Florida Breds at GP after she won going wire to wire.  I think she has some big shows to fill coming into this race.  She is going from sprinting to the sod in her last start to the dirt.  Her SRF number is 91.5.

  1. Ancient Royalty                                      Paradise Stable                 Court J K

She finished fourth at this distance in her last race the Grade II Azeri BC at OP.  Prior to that she ran second at OP in the Grade III The Bayakoa.  I think she should improve with the drop down against today’s class.  Her SRF number is 92.5.

  1. Dont Freak Out                                         Eastern Equine                  Leparoux J R

Finished fifth in a recent open allowance at AQU at this distance in December.  Prior to that she finished second by a ½ length at the $145.000 OK Classics Distaff at a Mile and 70 yards.  I think this is a big step for this four year old grey filly.  Her SRF number is 91.5.

  1. Behrens Bride                                               Big Jd Racing                       Van Dyke D

Had a nice showing over the mud at GP in the Grade II The Inside Information to finish third by a length, after having the lead, and coming out of post position number 9.  Prior to that she was on the turf so we will throw that out.  Prior to that she ran 7 furlongs at GP where she finished fifth in the SSM Distaff $200.000.  I think she will improve coming off the muddy start last time out.  Her SRF number is 92.5.

  1. Barbies Corvette                                   Night Mare Racing           Smith M E

Finished second by a ¼ length in her last start which was a sprint at TP against open Allowance company for $22.400.  Prior to that she ran against the same company at TP but at a mile where she finished fourth by a length.  Her last win came at SAR in July against Optional Claimers $80.000 Non Winners of 4 races where she went wire to wire.  Will need her best shoes on for this group.  Her SRF number is 92.5.
