(# 5) CLEARLY IDEAL - Boasts a tactical edge over this field in a starter handicap contest. Horse was a bit short, making a good middle move to get the lead around the turn, and weakened in the drive on Feb. 7. She has been hurt by lively pace scenarios in her most recent starts, and gets some relief towards that end today. That, coupled with a class drop should serve her well as she could very well control the race from the start.

(# 1A) ROXANNE'S DANCER - Makes second start off the Contessa claim. Appears to be rounding back into form. Has been working well lately, but has never beaten this caliber of horse and is winless over the inner track. Switch to Dominguez is a plus in addition to her ability to perform well when fresh.

(# 6) DUTCH GIRL - Dangerous shipper from Lake. Appears as though she does not have to carry her racetrack around with her, and is well spotted shipping into New York. Likes to sit and make one run, but might be better around one turn.
