(# 5) TOO MUCH ZIP - Ran well last out, but was surprised by a wire-to-wire longshot winner who 'beat the gate" from an outside post. Fits squarely in this from on or just off the pace. Coa takes the return ride for Contessa.

(# 4) CITY SPIRIT - Makes her third career start, and this will be her first grass effort. Filly has exhibited fine speed on the dirt, and the surface switch is a good one for trainer Mike Hushion (23% dirt to turf).

(# 1 and 1A) Aunt Teree and Miss Annie M. - We'll take either one or preferably both of this Joe Lostritto trained entry. Both fillies are "nibblers", but they are making their second starts off of layoffs, and are eligible to move forward.

(# 10) Provided For - Cuts back to a sprint after running in a series of distance races most of this year. Has some speed and the outside draw may give her some options. Numbers are adequate, but the starts (14) are beginning to mount.
