Group 3 winner TRACK PHANTOM (11) is in top form with three wins on end, the most recent an effortless 2.75 lengths victory over 1m1/2f in the G3 Lecomte Stakes at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago. Tougher assignment this time but he is likely to feature. Group 2 winner HONOR MARIE (3) returns from a 12 weeks break and is having his first try on a turf track. Goes well when fresh, including a win at Churchill Downs (Dirt) to kick off last prep. Rafael Bejarano who has two wins when partnering stays on. Well placed and should be in the finish. CATCHING FREEDOM (8) scored last start in Listed grade at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will give backers a great sight. Group 2 placegetter SIERRA LEONE (4) resumes after a break of 11 weeks. Trying to repeat his debut win over 1m at Aqueduct to kick off last prep. Can make his presence felt while fresh.
