TIERGARTEN (8) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 10 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1106m. Should measure up again. STRIKE A CHORD (3) is having her first run since winning by half a length three weeks ago over 1106m at Fort Erie. Has transferred to the Julie Mathes stable over the break. One of the genuine hopes in the race. SCREAM MACHINE (6) was a dominant winner last time at this track (Dirt) over the same distance. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and two minor placings from four starts. Should be involved in the finish. LIL BUT DELICIOUS (4) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a nice progression the first-up effort. No reason she cannot salute again.
