WAYS AND MEANS (7) is a talented five-year-old mare who resumes in a tougher race than her final run last prep when successful over 1408m in the G2 Bed O' Roses Invitational Stakes at this track (Dirt) 12 weeks ago. Overall record when resuming is sound including a win and three minor placings. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. ECLATANT (12) returns today and is on a run of three straight wins, the latest over 1408m at Churchill Downs on June 20. Goes up a notch this time but is still among the leading chances. USHA (4) was well fancied last start over 1408m at Listed level at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 2.5 lengths. Blinkers go on so she must be respected. R DISASTER (10) lines up for the first time since May 2. Looking to emulate her win at Gulfstream Park to kick off the last campaign. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on two occasions from three runs. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
