FOREST CIRCLE
Trainer: Mike Stidham
Last race: July 23, 4th
Finish: 5th by 1 1/4
Beyer: 56
After bobbling at the break coming out of the one-hole, the Arlington-based daughter of Arch lacked room in the stretch as the favorite in the My Dear Stakes. She was arguably best in the six-furlong sprint for juvenile fillies.

DANI’S VICTORY
Trainer: Franz Crean
Last race: July 23, 5th
Finish: 2nd by 4 1/4
Beyer: 48
He gave the others about a five-length advantage after a troubled start before closing nicely for second in a six-furlong maiden special. The gelding is bred to be a miler, and should appreciate a stretchout in distance.

DILLY DALLY DARBY
Trainer: Nick Gonzalez
Last race: July 22, 5th
Finish: 5th by 1 1/2
Beyer: 48
She had worked well prior to her debut in a six-furlong maiden special. She raced wide throughout and then drifted out noticeably in deep stretch. She figures to be much better for the experience.
