IDIOMATIC (6) la Troienne Stakes winner. Is racing well, scoring in a in the G1 La Troienne Stakes at Churchill Downs (Dirt) before finishing a nose from the winner in second last time over 1m1f in the G1 Ogden Phipps Handicap at Saratoga (Dirt). Florent Geroux who has six wins when partnering stays on. Fitter and a likely improver. JUST KATHERINE (3) Placed in a Group 2. Did well when resuming over 7f in the G2 Bed O' Roses Invitational Stakes at Aqueduct (Dirt) last start, finishing second and beaten 0.3 lengths. Lay-off from three tries and should be fitter with a run under the belt. Among the leading chances. Group 2 winner SOUL OF AN ANGEL (4) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1m1f in the G1 Ogden Phipps Handicap at Saratoga (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. Group 2 placegetter MISTY VEIL (5) was an impressive when resuming winner last time out in an easier race over 1m1f at Listed level at Thistledown (Dirt), getting home by 8 lengths.
