STRIFE (4) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over this journey at this track (Turf). Ready to go one better. COLLECTED MIST (1) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish tenth last time out over 5½f at Ellis Park (Turf) following a minor placing at Penn National (Turf) over 5f the run prior. Should be in the mix. ECHO ROAD (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 5 lengths into fifth. Faces an easier assignment so she is likely to play a big role. ONE SMALL VICTORY (3) is a two-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 2 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 4½f at this track (Turf). Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
