Ami's Flatter - one of the Queen's Plate favorites will hit the track for the fifth time for trainer Josie Carroll having recorded a win and two seconds so far. Last time out was one of those seconds - in the Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby March 7 which followed a close fourth in the competitive Sam F. Davis Stakes here and a good second in his stakes debut - behind Bluegrass Singer in the minor Mucho Macho Man Stakes at Gulfstream Park January 3. He departs from the rail Saturday with Luis Contreras aboard looking like one of the horses to beat.

Danish Dynaformer - another leading contender for the Queen's Plate has four career starts for Hall of Fame trainer Roger Attfield with two wins - those being a maiden score February 21 at Gulfstream Park and an Allowance last time out by 2 1/4 lengths at Keeneland April 11. Danish Dynaformer makes his stakes debut Saturday hoping to build on a nice two race win streak. Alan Garcia rides from post 4.
