SKIPPYLONGSTOCKING (1) multiple Group 2 winner. Was sent out favourite last time and scored by 6 lengths over this trip in the G2 Charles Town Classic (Dirt). Has a sound record at this journey with five wins and three minor placings. Expected to measure up. TAPIT TRICE (3) blue Grass Stakes winner. Finished 6 lengths from the winner in fourth last time out in the G1 Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1m2f. Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from three starts. Easier assignment this time. Major player. CRUPI (2) grade 2 winner. Lifted strongly to score by half a length three runs back in the G2 Suburban Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Will find this easier. Capable of taking this out. KAY ARMY (5) el Derby winner. Has not raced since he finished off last campaign with a strong win over 1m4f in the G1 El Derby at Valparaiso Sporting Club six-and-a-half months ago. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be thereabouts.
