NATURE'S CANDY (1) reunites with Andy Hernandez after scoring with ease over 7f in stakes class at Parx (Dirt) last time. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Should prove tough to beat. MODAROSA (7) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when fourth over 1m1/2f at Listed level at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf). Should camp just off the leaders. Expected to be in the finish. FOXY JUNIOR (4) found one better last start in Listed grade at Parx (Dirt) over 7f after she was in the firing line on the corner. Has a very good record over this journey with six wins from 10 starts. Jomar Torres who has scored on her 10 times retains the mount. Certainly one to consider. SMOOCH UP (3) went forward and gave a great sight when third over 6f in Listed grade at this track (Synthetic) last time out. Has a strong record here, including four wins. Cannot be dismissed with that race fitness.
