Turfway Park Race 6
Post Time 7:25 PM CST
CINCINNATI TROPHY STAKES:
#8 DAZZLING DICTATOR showed ability with a BTL effort on debut and moved up in her second start, stretching out in distance over the Keeneland turf, though was compromised by the rider TACTIC- playing a role in the outcome. Freshened off that race (and rerouted from the 11/25 off-turf scratch) she broke her maiden with a strong effort back in December and took another move forward in January, a B+ effort to suggest she can take the step up in class. She was purchased after that race, has been training forwardly for capable connections and appears intent picking this stakes spot.
In terms of the B. Cox pair, #13 IMPEL is sitting on the AE and cross entered in a higher level allowance on Sunday at Oaklawn Park. She is coming off a maiden win, though out of a race that has held form. Her stablemate #6 BARBRATINA could be favored if IMPEL does not run in this spot. Overall, she has been consistent, though number wise there has been a decline since her debut and must return to a top effort in this stakes spot to compete as a contender here.
