6^th race [OC 62k/N2X, 6F] – (2) Kant Hurry Love has three wins in her last four starts where she moved through the NY-bred allowance conditions and the first-level against open company. (6) You Look Cold cut back to sprinting at Gulfstream Park and won an allowance for Bill Mott. (7) Rosebug also won an allowance in Florida for Mott with hers coming in January after a long layoff. (3) Lady Milagro has lots of early speed which helped her win a turf allowance last time. She should be able to get to the lead which will be essential as she moves back to the dirt.

8^th race [Alw 50000s, 1 1/16 mi TURF] – (2) Squire Creek is unbeaten in two starts for Brad Cox with a maiden win at Fair Grounds and an allowance at Keeneland.

(6) Drew’s Gold also has a perfect record and his is in three starts beginning with his maiden at Churchill Downs in May, then an allowance at Laurel Park, and the Jimmy Winkfield at Aqueduct. (1) Joey Freshwater won the Bay Shore (G3) last month to go with his two other victories.

(11) St. Benedicts Prep made two starts at Saratoga for Chad Brown and comes back here with a surface switch. (10) Reflexivity did debut on the grass at the Spa for Brown and also comes back in here.
