BEACH BALLAD (2) had been racing well with three consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1m1/2f at Aqueduct. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Among the leading chances. PETRONELLA (10) went forward from the low draw when when resuming from a lay-off last time before fading to finish fourth over 1m at Churchill Downs (Turf). Well placed and should be tough to rein in. TEMPLE GODDESS (7) was well fancied on the back of a couple of minor placings but could only manage sixth last start over 1m at Churchill Downs (Turf). Worth noting Fernando De La Cruz is the change of rider. Better than the last run suggests. MOTHER GREEN (4) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 1m at Churchill Downs (Turf), beaten 2. 25 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so she is one of the main contenders.
