BAD TEMPER (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 5½f at Parx. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. DIAMOND ESSENCE (3) opened this campaign last start with a third, beaten 4 lengths, over 5½f at this track. Has a solid record here including two wins and eight minor placings from 15 outings. Has the right profile. GIA'S FUEGO (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6½f at Parx, beaten 24 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so she is a leading contender. LADRO DI FICHI (6) resumes from a lay-off of five-and-a-half months. Has filled a minor placing at both when resuming runs. Opened last prep with a third over 6f at Pimlico. Will be thereabouts.
