QUEENS AMBITION (5) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish third over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt). Likely improver who is expected to be in the finish. ERICA'S BEACH (8) did little and finished 15 lengths from the winner in 11th over 1207m at Keeneland last start, a less impressive effort than her seventh on debut at Kentucky the run before. Faces an easier assignment so she is sure to be prominent. SOUTHERN WAY (4) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing ninth last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Settles back early but winds up late. Among the main hopes. YUPAHA PRINCESS (2) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Kenneth G Mcpeek. By Corniche from Cofachiqui. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.

Had two starts to date. At debut, got back early 8th of 11 at Horseshoe Indianapolis on August 24 over 1106m, 15 len behind Tahaluf carrying 54.5kg at $9.60. Last start 10th of 12 at Keeneland on October 23 over 1609m, 15 len behind Maddy Mania carrying 54kg at $27.97. Even the minor placings look out of reach.
