BUCKEYE BOMBSHELL (7) went to the paddock after scoring at her only appearance last prep three-and-a-half months ago over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Under the care of new trainer Kinnon Larose this prep. Has ability and should be right in the finish. ELECTRIC EDEN (6) returned to winning form last start, scoring by 7 lengths over this journey at this track (Dirt). Has a sound record at this journey with a win and three minor placings. Definite winning hope. ALL PEPPED UP (1) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 2 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. LOCO COCO (4) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 5½f at this track. Another forward showing is anticipated.
