SHIPMATE (5) was at long odds on debut last time out and finished fifth, beaten 2 lengths, over 5½f at Keeneland (Turf). Likely improver who should go well. SELF LOADER (2) wasn't far away on debut last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 4. 5 lengths. Likely improver who is expected to be in the finish. ROYAL RETINUE (3) turned in a solid run on debut last start, beaten 4 lengths into third at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf) over 5f. Likely improver so she is among the leading chances. NICKEL C (4) was always well back on debut last start and made no impression, finishing tenth over 7f at this track (Dirt). Worth another chance with race experience now in the locker.
