Analysis by Emily Gullikson

TRANQUILITY LAKE STAKES: 

The L. Powell barn has been sending out live runners and the trend with a pair in this race including #5 LIBERAL LADY returning from the 72-day freshening and back to DMR over this course and mile distance where she has come up short on the win end, though recorded competitive numbers and figures with the minor results. Stablemate #3 GRACE PERIOD is less proven on the dirt though oven another look in this spot and one of the few with recency. She could benefit form the race shape that projected to be honest (assists #2 ASCENDANCY on trip as well) and could set up her late run and pick up the belated stateside win. The connections have tried the main track in the past and the lone mile even for GRACE PERIOD back in January was compromised by trip not necessarily the surface alone.
