Slew Valley...Clearly a lot will depend here on the turf condition after some wet weather this week. This guy has done OK on off-going before and he has been competitive in graded stakes this year -- albeit without winning, but he might find this group to his liking.
Quest Star...If the pace is slow this one can control -- if not, he can stalk. Typically in the hunt and has gone well on 'good' turf.
Tam's Terms...Amazing 8-7-0-0 record since moving to turf. Question mark however about capability in graded company. We'll see.
Quiet Ruler.

...$2 tri key She's Got The Beat over next three.
Ran 6/1-2-3.
She's Got The Beat...Looks like there should be a decent pace in here and that should set it up for a good stretch run by this one.
Miss Linda...Could be the toughest of the speedsters and might hang on for a piece.
Pocus Hocus...Another front-runner and has put together a strong season. This group might be a little tougher though.
Nonsuch Bay.

Tasso Run...Two most recent races seem to indicate good form. Looks capable of scoring in small stake.
Astorbilt...Seems comfortable on turf and won this track and trip two back.
She's Vested...Looks like this type is the kind she can make some noise against.

What a Price...Usually in the hunt. The layoff is somewhat of a concern.
Born Something...Clement trainee is having a nice season -- also coming off a layoff.
Chit Chatter...Comfortable on turf and should find this group more to liking than last bunch.
Young Star.

Turn to Lass...Hasn't done anything wrong in two Chicago starts. Stretches out -- but the mile is only one-turn on this track and she looks ready for this spot.
Marina de Chavon...Had a huge win in her second start then was a close-up second in a stake at Calder, moved up on a DQ after trouble.
Stellar Jayne...Like many DW Lukas runners this filly needed a race to get going. Is now undefeated since that maiden try.
Quick Start.

Nister Bere...Hmmm, we got to see what Euro shippers thought of the Santa Anita course last week. Looks primed for this coming of a ten-race Euro season, adds Lasix today.
General Moody...Like the fact that he moved up and scored nicely when placed on turf last time.
The Herc...Like many in here he tests the grass for first time today but he picked up a 2YO stake last time and will be tough if he likes the surface.
True Contender.

Bis Repetitas...Frankel turfer hasn't really broken through since coming stateside -- but this bunch looks a little easier than some of the others stakes crowds he's faced.
Mediator...Drysdale trainee has only two starts -- both wins, and both over this track.
Kewen...SoCal shipper is 4-2-1-1 lifetime and should be heard from here.
Stanley Park.

Relato Del Gato...Has had a little trouble in both starts but moved forward last time to win nicely. Can repeat with a similar effort.
Pleasant Honor...Throw out the troubled trip in Florida and this one has been moving forward with each start.
Southern Trial...Put it all together last time and might be ready for this assignment.
Scary Bob.
