(# 5) THRU N' THRU - Simply whistled in her turf debut at Del Mar for Baffert. She literally gave no one a chance that day, gaining a daylight lead at once and improving her position from there. Before heading East, she worked a remarkable five-furlong bullet over the Del Mar Polytrack surface, which gives her a good foundation today stretching out to six furlongs. She continues to sizzle over the Belmont Park main track for her return, indicating another top effort is in the offing. She has the pedigree to excel in turf sprints, and certainly appears capable of carrying her speed in the extra furlong. The presence of Gomez in the saddle is another plus.

(# 4) Zaynab - Blinkers off after a tough trip in last. Good third Aug. 15 trying to rally on a speed-favoring turf course. Gets quick pace to close into.

(# 2) Queen Amira - Freshened up after having some trouble in last. Overmatched two back. Disliked soft turf three back. Should sit a good mid-pack trip with pace to close into.
