(# 9) VILLIFY - Bet well in only race last season, a maiden special at Saratoga. Raced in traffic and Chartman calls it a "green" run. Winner Grahame Central has turned out be a more than useful sort. Away until June 17, I thought she ran a big race considering she spotted them many lengths to finish third, and trainer Charlton Baker adds Lasix today to filly owned by Hall of Fame trainer John Nerud. Draws the outside going 6 furlongs - an advantage. A clean break and she wins.

(# 6) Gray Advertising - Debut at Delaware was a good one, with the runaway winner Pure Malt returning to win an allowance next out. Filly was trained by Penn National regular Murray Rojas in that effort, and is now in Joe Orseno's barn. Should at the very least, be involved early on.

(# 2) Duchess of Rokeby - Improved run in latest an "off the turf" affair. The finish was good, but the figure earned a poor one. Still no Lasix on view, and she may need that addition before notching a win. Has some speed to offer.

(# 5) No More Flags - She could outrun her odds in here, as she improved in her second attempt when Lasix was added and trainer Hertler (who traditionally gets a few wins at Saratoga) may have her ready for a good try.
