Group 3 placegetter MINOUSHKA (12) lines up for the first time since June 9. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1m at Chantilly All Weather. Now under the care of new trainer Brendan P Walsh. Sure to make her presence felt. MYSTIFYING (13) resumed last time out and finished second over 1m1/2f at Saratoga, beaten half a length. Has the right credentials. LEO TORO (15) is racing well. Scored at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) in a then finished third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1m at Kentucky (Turf) at the latest appearance a month ago. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Sure to be competitive. RED RIVER MAGIC (2) produced a better run last start at the second run of the prep, beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
