MANSETTI (2) displayed plenty of early toe over 6f in Listed grade at Woodbine last time and went on to score by 1.3 lengths. In a suitable race and can go on to take this out. STUDLYDORIGHT (7) dug deep to win by half a length two runs back at Listed level at this track (Dirt) then finished fourth over 1m1f in the G2 Remsen Stakes at this track (Dirt) last time. Will find this easier. X Perez who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Should be hard to stop. CYCLONE STATE (6) scored by 2.75 lengths last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after he was in contention on the turn. Has a very good record over this journey with two wins from three starts. Luis R Rivera (Jnr) has been the pilot at his last two wins. Should be involved in the finish. MCAFEE (8) went forward over 1m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) last time but found one better. Can sneak into the finish again.
