ATSILA (10) comes here off a break of 12 weeks. Scored over 1m at Bellewstown to launch the last campaign. Lines up. For the first time for trainer R Baltas. Comes here with definite claims. WILL THEN (2) has been in the market at her last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest fifth in the G3 Red Carpet Handicap at Del Mar (Turf) over 1m3f. Open to improvement and is among the chances. CLIFFS (3) was too good when resuming in an easier race over 1m at Churchill Downs (Turf) last start, scoring by a nose. Will be better for that latest run and is expected to run well again. SLICK (5) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing fifth over 1m in the G3 Autumn Miss Stakes at this track (Turf) nine weeks ago. Umberto Rispoli who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Solid claims on best form.
