(# 6) NAJDIAH - Well bet in both outings, she has had legitimate excuses in both and yet still finished second twice, a sign of a good racehorse. Michael Dickinson is calling the shots, so horse will be ready to run the nine-furlong distance.

(# 11) Silver Ransom - From the top Sheppard barn, this daughter of top turf stallion Red Ransom gets blinkers in her second appearance off a layoff. Filly is working very well for this and she'll show whatever she has today.

(# 1) Rosamund - She was claimed by a very good trainer in Mike Salvaggio for $20,000 last out from Mike Moran. New connections put her right into a maiden special ands add Lasix to her arsenal. She's taken just enough money at the windows and shown some talent that she may factor at a square price.

(#'s 2 & 4) Miss Poison and Something Ind. - Both of these fillies reside in top "turf" barns in Hamilton Smith and Richard Small respectively. Both are bred for grass, haven't performed well to this point, but would not be surprised at major improvement.
