EUPHIMA (6) went forward last start over 5½f at Colonial Downs (Turf) and held on well for second, beaten half a length. Finds a more suitable contest and can run another big race. FLOWER MOUND (8) finished out of the money two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten 7 lengths when sixth over 1m1/4f at Delaware Park five-and-a-half weeks ago. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. RYE SMILE (10) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 5½f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds the right race this time and can rediscover winning form. SHARED AUTHORITY (3) was below her best last time when seventh over 5½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 12 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
