PEPPER NOIR is a three-time course winner now racing below her last winning mark and should benefit from recent runs. Baila Conmigo caught the eye when fourth at this C&D 7 days ago despite trouble in the straight and looks capable of better for current connections. Palmezzano has been consistent here and could improve returning to handicaps with cheekpieces back on.
