NOBLE BERNADETTE (8) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1m at Turfway Park. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. K'ANTHEIA (4) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished seventh at her last appearance over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) on March 22 after she got a long way back in the run. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. PITTORE D'ORO (9) finished ninth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1m1f at Keeneland, beaten only 0.3 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. VALERIE BLUE (3) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 14 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). This looks a nice race so expect her to finish closer.
