Test S. (G1) runner-up SWEET HOPE (Lemon Drop Kid) and four-time stakes

victress CASH'S GIRL (Northern Afleet) also merit serious respect. Sweet Hope

rolled to a three-length score in the Beautiful Day S. two starts back at

Delaware Park before finishing second to champion Indian Blessing (Indian

Charlie) last time at the Spa. Trained by Larry Jones, the sophomore filly will

have Gabriel Saez in the irons. Cash's Girl likes Delaware, compiling a

three-for-three mark over the local oval, and she exits a nice win in the

six-furlong Sweet and Sassy S. Regular rider Pablo Morales will be up.

The Endine marks the stakes debut for the unbeaten ELOPE (Gone West), who

broke her maiden at Turfway Park in September 2007 but then went on the shelf

for nearly 10 months. The Bruce Levine-trained four-year-old filly returned to

the races with a smashing performance last time at Saratoga, winning a 6

1/2-furlong allowance/optional claiming event by 11 3/4 lengths, and she'll keep

Ramon Dominguez in the saddle for her third lifetime start on Saturday.

On the undercard, Suburban H. (G1) runner-up SOLAR FLARE (Arg) (Salt Lake)

looms large in the $100,000

DTHA

Owners' Day H. Favored in the Whitney H. (G1) last time out, the Jones

runner regressed off his hard-fought Suburban effort with a seventh-place showing

behind Commentator (Distorted Humor). The four-year-old colt opened his U.S.

racing campaign with an allowance/optional claiming victory three starts back at

Delaware, and he missed by only a half-length when second in the prestigious

Suburban next out. The Fox Hills Farms colorbearer is listed as the 9-5 favorite

in the nine-furlong event, which attracted 11 runners.
