Group 3 placegetter TAMBO (4) closed last prep nine weeks ago when she finished second over 7f at Churchill Downs. Genuine type with three wins from nine starts. Will be hard to beat. FIBBER (2) was an effortless winner last time over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt), scoring by 3 lengths. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and two minor placings from four starts. Expected to feature. Multiple Group 2 winner TARIFA (1) was well held in the Kentucky Oaks won by Thorpedo Anna over 1m1f at Churchill Downs at her last appearance three-and-a-half months ago. Reunites with Florent Geroux who has two wins from three rides. Has claims on her best figures. MINK'S PALACE (6) built on a nice third two starts back at Churchill Downs (Dirt) with success as favourite over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt) seven weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
