EVERHEART (5) was below her best last start when beaten 4 lengths into fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be in the finish. PRINCIPIA (1) ran below expectations last time at Thistledown (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths starting at $7.20. This is a nice drop in grade so she is set to turn things around. ALTER THE STARS (4) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Taking on a better field but she is worth another chance. X GENE (2) last appeared when she finished sixth over 1106m at this track (Dirt) on July 20. Makes plenty of appeal.
