GALATINA (9) won her maiden three starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at her last two runs, most recently when third over 1m at this track (Turf). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Among the leading chances. SUSSUDIO (3) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track (Turf) over 1m, beaten 0. 3 lengths. Nice alley and should run well. DIABLO SHIRAZ (4) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 6½f at Churchill Downs, beaten 4. 5 lengths. Has the talent to figure prominently. TRANSATLANTIC (7) turned in a strong performance when resuming when in the money at Churchill Downs but disappointed last time when seventh, beaten 13 lengths, at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 6½f. Has her share of talent and can do a lot better.
