(7) OSCEOLA gets another drop in class and likely tries to control this race from the jump. Last week’s trip did not go in his favor.

(2) TACTICAL STRIKE was a recent winner and has excellent early speed and could be dangerous if she controls the fractions.

(1) UNGAWA enters in excellent form following a victory over Major Velocity and should benefit from the rail.
