KILLA SALLY (7) finished eighth on debut then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at Churchill Downs, beaten half a length after being in the firing line on the bend. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. LEGAL LIGHTNING (2) finished third, beaten 1.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) after she was in the firing line on the turn. Won't find this as tough so she is one of the primary contenders. BUCKEYE FAVORITE (1) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished tenth at her last appearance over 1006m at Churchill Downs (Turf) on November 26. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. YES JULIA (9) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when seventh at Churchill Downs (Turf) over 1006m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Not to be discounted.
