ATROPA (1) continues to race well with a win in a at Keeneland (Dirt) before finishing half a length away in second last time over 1m1/2f in the G2 Golden Rod Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. TAKEN BY THE WIND (4) returns from a four-and-a-half months break after closing last prep with two wins on end, the latest over 1m win in the G3 Pocahontas Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Expect a bright return. LUV YOUR NEIGHBOR (5) gave a great sight last time over 1m1/4f at this track when she raced up on the pace and fought on gamely only to be narrowly beaten. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and two minor placings from four starts. Shapes as one to consider. PASHMINA (6) showed good speed and fought on for third over 1m1/4f at Listed level at this track (Dirt) last time. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Minor claims.
