Oeuvre (4) is a talented type yet to taste defeat after three runs this campaign, the latest over 1m at keeneland (turf).Kept fresh for this assignment and expected to measure up again. grade 3 winner hidden connection (3) is back after a break of nine weeks.Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 6½f at this track.One of the genuine hopes in the race. grade 1 placegetter hot and sultry (9) returns from a spell and is tackling a turf track for the first time.Consistent performer when fresh and has been in the frame in all three resumed runs.Should be prominent from the outset.Winning claims on best figures. grade 1 placegetter nostalgic (1) was a winner on dirt over 1m at saratoga in a then followed up with a minor placing, also on dirt, over 1m1f at aqueduct more recently.Easier assignment this time.Too good to ignore.
