PETROUCHKA (6) has been going well this prep, scoring last start over 1m2f in the LR Belmont Oaks at this track to make it two wins from four runs this time in. William Pike who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Should be in the finish. LYRICAL ANGEL (7) was sent out at long odds last time but ran above expectations to finish third, beaten only 1.3 lengths, over 1m2f in the LR Belmont Oaks at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Leading contender. CRUISE TO RIO (8) gets out over more ground. On the back of some solid form of late, the most recent effort a fifth over 1m2f in the lr belmont oaks at this track. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. One of the main contenders. WIFE SAYS YES (10) made some progress last start to finish sixth over 1m2f in the LR Belmont Oaks at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Stepping up in distance this time and can feature without surprising.
