Stake: -

NICOLE'S WILL (1) Strong effort to the line to win last run at this track and gets the perfect alley. Made it 2 wins in succession but challenged by a tougher grade. Will be in the finish. COUSIN ED (2) Improved to place when 2nd beaten by 3L last run around here and will try to take advantage of the draw. Have to respect the recent stable form. Hard to dismiss. PANCHO SLIPS AWAY (4) Lost ground in the run home when 5th last start here. Has the potential to improve sharply but up against a more competitive field. Has early speed and positions nicely. Prominent showing expected and won't be far off them. MORODER (5) Folded up in the straight when 6th last time at Thistledown. Has the potential to improve sharply but competing in a higher grade. Going well this preparation. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players.

Finished well when winning last run here and will appreciate a good alley. Undefeated last 2 attempts but challenged by more formidable competitors. Edwin Gonzalez adds value. Winning potential.

Ran on when 2nd beaten by 3L last run at the track and has a good draw. Darien Rodriguez has been training plenty of winners recently. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Fresh today after a break. Was $25.00 and faded to finish 6th last start at Prairie Meadows but dropping in grade. First start for a new trainer. Lines up against a competitive field.

Odds of $6.50 and didn't find the line when 5th last start here. Has the potential to improve sharply but taking on stronger competition. Should muster plenty of early speed. One of the leading players.

Was $14.00 and looked outclassed when 6th last time at Thistledown. Has the potential to improve sharply but up against tougher competition. Going well this campaign. Well respected contender.
