MISCHIEVOUS ROGUE (2) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 3 lengths over 5½f at Keeneland (Turf). Sound record at this distance with three wins and two minor placings from six runs and shapes as a key contender. MASSETO (11) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when third over 6½f at Woodbine, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a tougher race but another win is not out of the question. OUTADORE (1) finished 10 lengths from the winner in eighth last time out at Keeneland (Turf) over 5½f. Has a very good record over this journey with four wins from six starts. Has the pace and the right draw to find a good early position. One of the main contenders. GILDED RULER (5) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5½f at Keeneland (Turf), beaten 0.3 lengths. Finds a tougher race but a big run will not surprise.
