Off the entries alone, I'm liking one of the highweights, Proviso. The cutback to 7f should make her extra tough in here.

Most of the others are at their limit at this distance. Evita Argentina is solid at the trip, but her class has always been in question. The three turf mares are classy enough to give her all she can handle.

It can't just be coincidence that Evita Argentina has always improved in her 2nd start off of layoffs, whether short or long. I think she gets the setup in here and will be tough.

Proviso is worth watching as well as her Distaff was actually pretty solid.

At the same time, Evita Argentina has never won two in a row. She hasn't had much behind her in any of her wins. Still, there's no guarantee that any of the turf mares will show up on Pro-Ride.

As for the pace, I don't think its a slam dunk to be a scorcher. Free Flying Soul is the only confirmed frontrunner (when sprinting), though more than likely she'll see some sort of pressure from at least Czechers. Tuscan Evening is the X-factor as far as that goes.

Gary Stevens will continue to build that rep as a move-up trainer.
