Verdict

WINNING HARLOW (8) has been just behind the placegetters in all three career outings to date and looks to be building up to a maiden victory. Gets gun hoop Rodd back on board from a low draw and should be right there when the whips are cracking. PIROUETTE GIRL (5) has been in the mix in all three runs this campaign and will be ready to peak now fourth run back from the spell. Gets in well at the weights with the 3lbs claim and looms as the main danger. TED LASSO (3) has gotten better with each career effort and should be ready for the step-up to the mile journey now. Top-three credentials. VITAL IMPACT (6) resumes here but showed enough in her first preparation to warrant consideration in a race like this. Can feature while fresh. WEONA SATONO (7) next in line from the astute barn.
