DRY POWDER (2) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished third, beaten 6 lengths, over 7f in Listed grade at Laurel (Dirt). Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. MACANGA (1) returned from a lay-off five weeks ago when she was beaten 17 lengths into seventh over 1m1/2f at Gulfstream Park Turf. The engagement of John R Velazquez is a positive move. Strips fitter and can feature. VELVET VORTEX (3) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing sixth over 7f at this track (Dirt) 11 weeks ago which was the only run of that prep. Has scored when resuming from a lay-off before. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. HER TOWN (4) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 2. 25 lengths last time over 7f at this track (Dirt). Not to be discounted.
