Raining Sugar 12-1

Regal Rumor 10-1

Regal Rumor just finished up the ELP MSW at the end of last month with a victory. So far, she has that win in addition to her runner-up to give her a boost heading into this event.

V V’s Dream 3-1

V V’s Dream also has a pair of races that she performed well at, with a victory and the recent runner-up finish at the Debutante LS at Ellis Park in July of this year. She has had plenty of time to train for this event and to come away with a victory.

Hot Beach is certainly capable of winning here, especially after her recent victory at the Ellis Park Debutante LS. This increased her career outlook, with one win and one runner-up so far on her resume. She will need to cleanly start out of the gate in order to have a chance to win.
