FLOWER MOUND (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 1m1/4f at Delaware Park, beaten 7 lengths into sixth. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is a major player. EUPHIMA (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 11 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 5½f at Colonial Downs, beaten half a length. Has the ability to take this out. LADY ENSIGN (4) started at 7/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths at Colonial Downs (Turf) over 5½f after being in the firing line on the turn. Yet to miss the placings from six starts at this track. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. RYE SMILE (1) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when seventh over 5½f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
