COMMENTS: LIL TOOTSIE ran much better fractions last out and has a chance to improve in round two off the sidelines. THE MARY ROSE ran the top last race speed figure and is top pick on an off track. WILLS SECRET bombed in her last but looks to rebound following a bullet workout. SYLVA Q has to take a major step forward in her second race after more than a year in the barn.
