Billy Lee takes the reins on Marble Angel, who can make light of a 4 lb rise for her C&D success 5 weeks ago. Morning Approach has been running well on turf lately and won over C&D last winter so she's a possible threat. Comfort Line is another who knows where the winning post is here and could play a prominent role assuming a wide stall isn't too much of an inconvenience.
