MARINAS PEARL (1) used the inside draw to advantage to get the prize last time at this track and distance (16.88), scoring by 2.25 lengths. Drawn the rails again and rates the measuring stick. RUDY MILLY (3) is rarely far away but tends to find one better, placing 12 from 21 starts. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing second (16.94) at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings four times from six attempts. Expected to be in this for a long way. KEREIGHT CROSS (2) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in a D2 at this track over 277m. Key player on best and worth another try. MOANING EMPRESS (4) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.
