(# 10) IRISH COVE - Broke slowly from an inside post in a large field at 5.5 furlongs on August 4. Trainer Plesa adds blinkers and sends runner into a claimer. Draws well and should run much better.

(# 6) Aly's Tale - Problems at the start in both races. May be much better than those races indicated as they're basically throw-outs. Nice drill on the last day of August.

(# 3) Rhapsodysfootsteps - Stretches out to seven furlongs today after a series of three shorter races. Drops from $50K down to $25K, and I've got the feeling that she'll show her best today.

(# 9) Rachel's Rose - Ran very well in latest - a much improved effort over her first several races. Was involved in the running from start to finish and draws a good post to do so again.
