CITY OF TROY (3) returns after a break of ten weeks. Has won three on end, the latest over 1m2 1/2f at York. The testing material. FIERCENESS (9) is a promising type who scored at his last run before a break ten weeks ago over 1m2f in the G1 Travers Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt). Has two wins to his name when fresh from a lay-off. Has a strong association with John R Velazquez who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Among the leading chances. HIGHLAND FALLS (2) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a five time winner including last start when scoring by 4 lengths over 1m2f in the G1 Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt). Going well and worth consideration again. NEWGATE (13) resumed last time out and finished third over 1m1f at Santa Anita, beaten 0.2 lengths. Should be involved in the finish.
