Lane 3 and firm for the turf on a cloudy day, with a chance of showers. The main track was on the slow side for morning works.
The Jackpot Hi 5 carryover is nearly $400K for the nightcap, a maiden sprint on the Tapeta for Ontario-sired stock and $40K claimers. Stakes-placed Dilly Dally Darby should be prominent after working fast for her return from an extended layoff. There are several longtime maidens should figure to fill out the payoffs, including Jupiter's Eagle and Forest Lass. Surely Dimple is descending from open maiden special company for her first non-turf start.
Trillium Stakes winner Minks Aprise should be favored in the G3 Ontario Matron, but there are sereral entrants who are capable of being the spoiler, including G3 winner Ice Festival and Hot Kiss. The latter picks up leading rider Da Silva, who doubled up yesterday. Moonlit Promise has been scratched.
The scratches can be found soon at http://pro.drf.com/entries
