LUCKY COUGAR (5) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 8 lengths away in third over 6f at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic). Finds a suitable assignment and can get the chocolates. HARTFUL HOPE (4) finished fifth over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt) at her most recent appearance on June 9. Comes here with definite claims. LIONISTIC (3) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when fifth, beaten 7 lengths, over this journey in stakes class at Thistledown (Dirt). Tackling a more suitable race this time so she can find the winners' list. TIMELY SECRET (2) built on a nice second two starts back at Thistledown (Dirt) with a win as public elect over 6f at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 3. 5 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
