Race 6 Comments: GORGEOUS RANAE was last at the half, rallied wide and was flying late overloaded with pace to nail second over the slowest rated track of the year. Mare remains sharp and looks best in finale. REFLEXIONOFROYALTY was a game wire to wire winner under brutal racing conditions. Appears the main threat.

Odds: 5-1
Race 7 Comments: CASA MIASA held well after going first over through stepped up final half over surface rated the slowest of the year. Two back paced a :28.4 kicker rallying for place behind suddenly sharp winner. 9-year-old is winless over past two years but has shown signs of life in recent and may be ready to snap slump in finale.
