    We report on the pT dependence of nuclear modification factors (RCPR_{CP}) for Ks, Lambda, Xi and the Anti-Lambda/Ks ratios at mid-rapidity from Au+Au collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 39, 11.5 and 7.7 GeV. At \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 39 GeV, the RCPR_{CP} data shows a baryon/meson separation at intermediate pT and a suppression for Ks for pT up to 4.5 GeV/cc; the Anti-Lambda/Ks shows baryon enhancement in the most central collisions. However, at \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 11.5 and 7.7 GeV, RCPR_{CP} shows much less baryon/meson separation and Anti-Lambda/Ks shows almost no baryon enhancement. These observations indicate that the matter created in Au+Au collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 11.5 or 7.7 GeV might be distinct from that created at \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 39 GeV.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, to appear in the proceedings of 7th International Workshop on Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement (CPOD2011), Wuhan, China, Nov. 7-11, 201
