WILLOW BEND (8) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Colonial Downs (Dirt) over 7f after being in the firing line all the way. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. This doesn't look as hard so she is likely to play a big role. KILO ROAD (3) is ready to win after she just missed last time, beaten 0. 3 lengths into second over 6½f at Timonium (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Likely improver with strong prospects. VIEUX CARRE (7) is racing well, scoring in a at Delaware Park (Dirt) before finishing 2. 5 lengths from the winner in third last time over 5½f at Delaware Park (Dirt). Yabriel O Ramos who has three wins when partnering stays on. Has claims on her best figures. GINGER GIRL (4) is having her first run since August 23. Goes very well when fresh - has not been out of the money in three when resuming runs and did win over 1m at this track at the start of last prep. Can make her presence felt while fresh.
