Group 3 winner GRAND SONATA (4) wasn't far away when resuming last start, finishing second over 1m at Aqueduct (Turf). The extra journey should play into his hands. Likely to feature in the finish. Multiple Group 3 winner TAWNY PORT (8) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing fourth over 1m3f in the G2 Man O War Stakes at Aqueduct (Turf). Should measure up. Multiple Group 3 placegetter RUNNING BEE (9) dug deep to score in a then was beaten 4.5 lengths into third over 1m1f in the G3 Dixie Stakes at Pimlico (Turf) last time four weeks ago. Has a high cruising speed. Capable of testing this field. Multiple Group 3 placegetter SIEGE OF BOSTON (5) finished 5 lengths behind the winner in sixth place when resuming over 1m1f last start in the G1 Old Forester Turf Classic at Churchill Downs (Turf). Has a solid second up record. Likely improver.
