    Race Analysis

    FLYING PHOENIX (1) could only manage fifth on debut then improved last start but found one better over 6f at this track, beaten 1. 5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Enjoys a drop in grade so she is one of the main contenders. MAAM CROSS (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at Horseshoe Indianapolis, beaten 8 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. RUBY RIVER (4) has switched yards since finishing third six-and-a-half weeks ago over 5½f at Delaware Park. Comes here with definite top-three claims. SHADY NIGHTS (5) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing second over 1m at this track (Dirt). In the mix again.
