Group 3 placegetter LAT LONG (7) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling in a rearwards position and failing to feature when ninth over 1m1f in the G1 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland (Dirt). Has the class to produce a better result. COPPER TAX (11) returned to winning form second up last start, scoring by 0.3 lengths over 1m1/2f in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Has scope for improvement so a top-three finish is on the cards. INVEIGLED (10) was prominent throughout last time when second over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Should be in the finish again. SPEEDYNESS (1) showed good pace last time out and boxed on to finish 0.4 lengths from the winner in third in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) over 1m1/2f. Jamie Rodriguez who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Must be respected.
