Group 3 placegetter YESTERNIGHT (11) returned from a lay-off four weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the corner before being beaten 9 lengths into sixth over 7f at Churchill Downs. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. WORK OF FICTION (6) was sent out at 25/1 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1m at Churchill Downs (Turf). Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts her right in this. EXCELLENT QUESTION (1) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when seventh, beaten 6 lengths, over 1m1/2f in the G3 Mint Julep Stakes at Churchill Downs (Turf). Finds the right race this time and can take this out. BRU NA BOINNE (10) returned from a lay-off four weeks ago when she was prominent at the bend before being beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth over 7f at Churchill Downs. Fitter and sure to run well.
