COMMENTS: EXOTIC WEST put up the top last race speed figure with major improvement in her late pace numbers. FROST POINT was considerably better in the second half of her last start and will try to move forward in her second start after a layoff. SUPER QUICK has plenty of early pace and her resume says she will be difficult to pass if she has the lead going into the stretch. LIL KINGS PRINCESS is another with plenty of gas at the jump. She is an all or nothing horse on a fast track with three wins in five races.

COMMENTS: PIZZA BIANCA never ran off the board in four starts with a pair of wins and a pair of competitive seconds. VERGARA showed some early pop in previous races and gest first time Lasix today. That can be a winning combination. MURPH tried grass for the first time in her last race and she set a personal best speed figure. DIAMOND HANDS has not run since November but her speed figures where on par with this bunch and she could be plenty better as a three year old.

COMMENTS: UNDER THE STARS welcomes back jockey Flavien Prat who has two wins a second and third when riding. LADY SCARLET has plenty of early pace and has won two of three at the distance. HAPPY SOUL won three laughers in a row before trying her luck in a Grade I. The small drop in class should help. SWEET SOLARE is coming off a big win where she dramatically improved her early burst and improved her pace numbers from start to finish.

COMMENTS: This race looks fairly open. So, we are hoping to catch some value. PHANTOM VISION started way outside in her last race. The move to the rail should improve her fortunes. HONEY PANTS improved from race to race in her first two starts following a layoff and is likely to be better in round three. CAN THE QUEEN has a win at this level and it was at the track, distance and surface. PAYNTDEMBLUESAWAY is mostly a win or sometimes nothing horse with nine wins in 15 races with a second.

COMMENTS: VINDICTIVE ran the highest last race speed figure and has 18 furlongs of solid workouts since. WORKING ON A DREAM has a bullet workout on May 8 and if he busts to an early lead, he could be tough to catch. MISCHIEF AFOOT upped his pace figures from start to finish in his last race and has a bullet work since. He should be sharp. TREASURE TROVE regained his form in 2022 and should be rolling at the end.

COMMENTS: ADARE MANOR is a couple of necks from winning four of her first five races. A bullet work following a strong effort says she will be a major player here. LUNA BELLA is on a five race win streak, making them all look easy. DISTINCTLYPOSSIBLE just broke her maiden in the third go but finished second in a GI race in her second career effort. MIDNIGHT STROLL improved her speed figure in each of her start after her debut. She made the last two look easy on the lead from start to finish.
