EVANESCENCE (5) is back at the races for the first time since June 8. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6f at this track. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. MODO (2) turned in a mediocre run last time out over 6f in Listed grade at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) after a nice win the start prior. Has the ability to put the recent poor run behind her. TROUBLE IN LOVE (4) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Churchill Downs. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 7f at Gulfstream Park, beaten 9 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Florent Geroux is a key engagement. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. HAY EVABODY (6) did a great job to score by 1. 5 lengths over this course and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
