MANDY STEPH (10) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 1.1 lengths from the winner in third over 1710m at this track (Turf). Should improve sharply and this looks a nice race. ROYAL COUNTY DOWN (1) turned in a solid run on debut last start, beaten 0.3 lengths into second at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf) over 1106m. Inside draw will assist so she will prove tough to beat. BLUEGRASS PRINCESS (2) will find this a little easier than her third on debut a month ago, beaten 2.75 lengths at the end of 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Nicely drawn so she is among the leading chances. REVENGE OF THE SIS (12) is a beautifully bred two-year-old filly lining up for the first time. By Girvin from Hardcore Candy who has produced a winner at the elite level. Has the right credentials to make a bright start to her career despite a difficult draw.

Was at long odds at debut, got back early 6th of 10 at Saratoga Turf on July 24 over 1106m, 5 len behind Runaway Bride with 56kg at $26.61. Requires plenty of improvement after a modest debut.
