Richies Sweetheart is the 2/1 morning line favorite for trainer Larry Rivelli, and has been a consistent turf sprinter throughout her 20-race career, capturing 10 wins and earning $307,995. The four year-old daughter of Bring the Heat will venture away from her Arlington Park base, where she has won her last two starts, and has finished worse than second just once. Jockey E.T. Baird gets the call breaking from post two.
Gal About Town (5/1) has flashed major ability at times, and exits an allowance score at Churchill Downs after two off-the-board finishes in stakes competition. The Glenn Brookfield-trainee finished second in the Captiva Island Stakes March 18 at Gulfstream and was multiple-graded stakes placed on dirt as a two year-old in 2012. With 5 wins in 16 starts to go with 6 second-place finishes and a third, Gal About Town has banked $283,631. The five year-old daughter of City Zip will break from post eleven under jockey Israel Ocampo.
At 8/1 odds, Richies Party Girl may be overlooked in the wagering despite finishing third in the Unbridled Sidney Stakes May 9 at Churchill and second against allowance foes June 7. The Wesley Ward trainee has captured 5 of 13 career starts and could be dangerous if she is able to return to her 2014 form where she won a pair of stakes races.
