Group 2 winner FIRST MISSION (2) reunites with Florent Geroux after scoring with ease over 1m1/2f in the G2 Alysheba Stakes at this track (Dirt) last time. Has been in solid form this campaign with two wins to his name. Should be hard to stop. Group 1 placegetter DREAMLIKE (5) was in commission second up last start and was in the frame for the second time in as many runs this prep, finishing third over 1m1f in the G3 Blame Stakes at this track (Dirt). Solid prospects. Group 2 winner KINGSBARNS (7) went forward last start over 1m1 1/2f in the G3 Pimlico Special (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Going up a level this time but he cannot be underestimated. Group 1 placegetter DISARM (4) returned from a break last start and led throughout to score by 1.5 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Goes up a notch this time but cannot be underestimated.
