U SO MONEY BABY (8) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt) over 5½f, finishing fourth and beaten 10 lengths. Has a win and four minor placings from six starts at this track and distance. Best form puts her right in this. I FEEL THE NEED (6) is back from a lay-off of three months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1m1/2f at Keeneland (Dirt). Winning chance while fresh. MYSTIC STORM (2) is on the quick back up after sitting on the pace and boxing on well to finish third at this track (Dirt) nine days ago. Good effort last start and a bold showing is likely. ILLUSIONS OF LOVE (7) did a great job to score by one length over this course and distance last time out to build on a solid when resuming effort. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
