SCYLLA (7) is close to a win with two recent placings, the latest when third over 6f in the G2 Honorable Miss Handicap at this track (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Likely to feature. HALINA'S FORTE (4) raced on the speed and kept going to score by half a length last time out over 6f in the G2 Honorable Miss Handicap at this track (Dirt). Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves plenty of thought. HOPE ROAD (9) is back at the races for the first time since May 26. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 7f at Churchill Downs. Has a strong when resuming record, scoring on two occasions from four starts. Can make her presence felt. ZEITLOS (6) finished a 4 length third on dirt at Churchill Downs in a then followed up with another minor placing on turf at this track over 5½f five weeks ago. Tougher assignment this time but must be respected.
