SPUN CANDY (7) was an impressive winner last time over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 2. 75 lengths. Mario Gutierrez who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Should be in the finish. NIMAH (9) resumes after a break of eight months. Trying to repeat her debut win over 6½f at Del Mar to kick off last prep. Has found the right race to kick off the campaign. OVERCOME ADVERSITY (3) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 1. 5 lengths back in second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. MOONLIGHT DASH (8) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 7f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), beaten half a length. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role.
