BETTY'S PEARL (2) is knocking on the door after three minor placings from three runs since resuming from a spell, most recently finishing second over 1609m at this track (Dirt) on December 13. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. PARADISE (6) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. MISS COMPLICATED (3) is back after a break of four months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 1609m in the G3 Pocahontas Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt). One of the leading chances. MAX (4) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Can figure in the finish.
