8. Generous WomanShowed nothing in debut, can improve on drop to claiming company

RACE 4

6. Roman CandleRan a pretty credible race in last when 38-1, now returns to class level where she fits; last time versus similar, she galloped

6. Runaway BeautyOnly out-of-the-money finish came when fourth in the Original Gold (at 14-1); owns two two-turn wins
2. Overnight Pow WowIf she can carry her speed two turns, she wins here, and the breeding says she should; but do you want to take 3-5 on a horse trying something she’s never done before?

10. Bonnie BillHas mostly kept better company; two back winner Austin from Boston moved back up class ladder to win next out; Magee brings bug rider Radcliffe in for the heat
4. Dixie CannonballTries to make amends after disappointing in last when up the track at 5-2; should be forwardly placed early
3. Alpha Chi RhoWins on best, but last out voided claim, time away, and precipitous drop push us towards a wait-and-see attitude
