DRIPPING GOLD (8) was far from disgraced when third last start after being in contention on the corner over 1m1/2f at Keeneland, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at Kentucky the start prior. Faces an easier assignment so he can return to the winners' list. FLY THE W (1) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). The engagement of Edgar Perez is noteworthy. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. PATRIOT SPIRIT (6) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when sixth over 7f in Group 3 grade at Keeneland (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Sure to be competitive. ANAMNESTIC (4) used the inside draw to advantage last start, sitting on the pace and going on to score over 1m at this track (Turf) last time out. Can figure in the finish again.
