SISTER CARLIE (12) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was always well out of her ground over 6½f at Churchill Downs, beaten 10 lengths into seventh. Has the class to take this out. SILENT STRIKE (14) broke through for her maiden win over 6f at Woodbine last time, scoring comfortably. Looks well placed and she is worth including. WHAT'S HER NUMBER (6) is returning from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Finished 11th at Keeneland (Dirt) over 7f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer David Fawkes. Well-placed and is among the chances. TEXAS SEQUOIA (3) was in contention on the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6f at this track (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
