Woodbine horses to watch: Week of Nov. 9

DIXIE STRIKE
Trainer: Mark Casse
Last race: Nov. 2, 9th
Finish: 2nd by 1 1/4
Beyer: 77
She was delayed in traffic on the far turn before closing strongly along the rail when favored in the Grade 3 Maple Leaf Stakes. The classy millionaire got a late start to her campaign and seems poised for a peak performance.

NAEVIA
Trainer: Catherine Day Phillips
Last race: Nov. 2, 4th
Finish: 3rd by 2 3/4
Beyer: 60
She lacked room on the turn and in the stretch before passing some rivals late as the favorite in a $20,000 conditioned claimer. This 4-year-old should clear the nonwinners-of-three level by the end of the meet, if things break her way.

CRUSHIN HARD
Trainer: Ian Black
Last race: Nov. 2, 6th
Finish: 4th by 1 3/4
Beyer: 79
This 10-furlong allowance was taken off the turf, seemingly his preferred surface, but he managed to mount a good late bid after awaiting room on the far turn. Give him another chance on Polytrack.

MAYS TREASURETROVE
Trainer: Mike DePaulo
Last race: Oct. 30, 3rd
Finish: 4th by 6
Beyer: 58
She was the deserving favorite in a $25,000 claimer, but was boxed on the turn and early in the lane before passing several rivals after finding room in the last furlong. She figures to rebound next time, perhaps at a square price.
