(# 9) NINTH OF JULY - Thought she had a good shot at winning last, but a very poor start cost her all chance at that. Returns with an outside post and trainer Dave Donk reaches out to Johnny V. for the assignment. Raced well against better at Calder. Has enough speed to not get hung wide.

(# 8) Sultry Sue - Showed a new dimension by rating a bit and making a run. Logical selection should make her presence felt late if she can avoid a wide trip.

(# 3) Longingfortheone - Good speed shown off the bench in first start since last October. Held very well from the inside and only gave-in late.

(#'s 2 and 5) Irish Kahn and Miss Annie M. - Lasix is added to "Kahn," and "Annie" makes her return after four months on the sidelines. Both her grass races are acceptable. Would use lightly in small exactas with the top selection.
