Stake: $156,881

LADY ORIENT (5) resumed last start over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) and showed little early speed, settling well back but hitting the line hard to finish third, beaten 15 lengths. Will be a major player again. LOW KEY (4) is a handy type who resumes after a break of four months. At her last appearance she finished sixth over 1710m at Listed level at Colonial Downs (Dirt), beaten 17 lengths. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Rates highly and expected to go well. ALWAYS PRACTICAL (1) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when seventh and beaten 7 lengths over 1308m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Better than the last run suggests. Can feature. RAGTIME SIZZLE (3) pushed forward and was a determined winner by half a length over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Has been in super form this campaign, finishing in the money at each of her three starts. One of the fringe hopes.
