KILLA SALLY (10) made progress last start to finish second over 1710m at Fairgrounds after being in contention on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. DREAM FROM WITHIN (7) finished 0.6 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1710m at Fairgrounds, an improvement on her fifth at Churchill Downs the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. LOCH FYNE (6) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1710m at Fairgrounds (Turf). Blinkers come off. Expected to be competitive. AUNTIE VODKA (9) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1106m at Fairgrounds after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.

Before that 6th of 9 at Oaklawn Park on December 27 over 1207m, 13 len behind You're In Heaven with 54.5kg at $7.50. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.
