RUSH TO GLORY (5) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 12 lengths into eighth at her latest appearance over 6f at this track (Dirt). Backmarker who gets home hard. Best form puts her right in this. TROUBLER (4) is back from a lay-off of ten weeks. Closed last prep with a seventh, beaten 13 lengths, over 5½f at Churchill Downs. Should be in this for a long way. CRACKLE (9) was in contention on the corner and finished third last start over 5½f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt), beaten 2.5 lengths. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is good enough to play a major role. DARING HOPE (11) is fitter for two runs back from a lay-off, progressing nicely last time to finish third, beaten 5 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 5½f. Among the better chances.
