Madam Dancealot 9-2

Richard Baltas trained Irish bred filly has four wins and three runner-up finishes in 12 career starts. She arrives off a career-best effort - a nice last-to-first 1 3/4 length win at 21-1 odds in the G2 San Clemente Handicap on this track July 23.

She shoots for a strong bounce back off an underwhelming effort - from gate 10 with Julien Leparoux scheduled to ride.
