EXPLORA (3) was a winner in a in the G3 Honeybee Stakes at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) then was competitive last time when fourth over 1m1f in the G1 Kentucky Oaks at this track (Dirt), beaten only 2. 5 lengths. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best figures should see her run well. ON TIME GIRL (6) produced a good effort last start over this distance in the G2 Eight Belles Stakes at this track (Dirt), scoring by 1. 5 lengths. Yet to be beaten here, scoring three wins from as many starts. Leading contender. BROOKLYN BLONDE (7) is a talented filly who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 20 lengths behind Always A Runner over 1m1f in the G1 Kentucky Oaks at this track (Dirt). Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and two minor placings from four starts. Shapes as one to consider. A FINE CHARDONNAY (1) is back after a break of nine weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 6f at Gulfstream Park. Worth plenty of thought.
