Mahoning Valley Race 9 - Cheryl S. White Memorial S. Stakes
POETICA (5) was in a different class last time with a dominant 2.25 lengths win over 1308m at Santa Anita (Dirt), making it two wins in a row. Can continue the winning run. Group 3 placegetter LATE FROST (1) is going well with three minor placings from three starts this prep. Continued the trend last time out when runner-up over 1207m at Delaware Park (Dirt) after she was in the firing line all the way. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. Group 2 placegetter JERSEY PEARL (4) is a promising type who finished in the placings over 1207m in the G2 Prioress Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) at her last appearance on September 2. Goes well when fresh including a win and one minor placings. Has a great record at this journey with three wins from six starts and has to be included. Group 3 placegetter CONDENSATION (6) kicked off this campaign with a win then couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1106m at Keeneland, beaten 5 lengths. Nicely placed to play a leading role.

Group 3 placegetter. Going well. Resumes off a 53 day let-up. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Delaware Park on September 28 over 1207m, 2.75 len behind Intrepid Daydream with 53.5kg at $4.30. The run before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 7 at Pimlico in LR on September 16 over 1207m, 6 len behind Apple Picker carrying 55.5kg at $2.60. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

Group 2 placegetter. Filly returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign second in a small field at Saratoga in the G2 Prioress Stakes September 2 over 1207m, 8 len behind Alva Starr with 54.5kg at $4.05. Previous preparation first-up won by 0.3 len Churchill Downs May 27 over 1207m defeating Alva Starr carrying 53.5kg at $6.02. Form shown last campaign makes for good reading.
