Group 3 winner REGAL REALM (5) last appeared when fifth over 1m1/2f in stakes class at Aqueduct (Turf) eight months ago at the only appearance of that campaign. Reunites with Florent Geroux who has never missed the frame from three rides, including two wins. Sure to run well. JOIN THE DANCE (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs, beaten 2.25 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. FUENTE OVEJUNA (6) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 21 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs, beaten 3.5 lengths. Finds a nice race and can take this out. STIR CRAZY (3) was in a different class last time out, settling well back before rounding up her rivals to score by 2.25 lengths over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Turf). Has a great record at this journey with three wins from eight starts and is among the main hopes.
