Verdict
The action moves to the Dirt track for this and four of these fillies have already won at the highest level. Unbeaten on the West Coast, Bellafina has won twice in this company now after dotting-up at Santa Anita though a high draw is not ideal. Restless Rider handled the step up in trip to score at Keeneland last month and is preferred to Saratoga winner Sippican Harbor. But the latter’s winning rider, Joel Rosario, has abandoned her after partnering JAYWALK when the grey filly won the Grade 1 Frizette at Belmont with an impressive display. That race has produced 11 previous winners of this contest and John Servis’s charge gets the vote on that form. Serengeti Empress beat little to win a Grade 2 here last time but couldn’t have done so more easily and should cope with this step up in class but all of the remainder have plenty to find with the leading contenders.
