Doctor Dempsey and Bensational could fight it out for the silver medal behind IMSLOPOKERODRIGUEZ, who bids for a hat-trick after running away with a more valuable contest over this trip at Aqueduct latest and remains on an upward curve.
APPEALING MISS only found one too good when back on this surface and this slight drop in trip should help. She is narrowly preferred to Frostie Anne, who blew away the cobwebs in a better contest on turf last month and is a big player now eased in class.
Zamjara is improving and must be considered along with U. S. S. Boxer. while SCOUT LEADER lost little in defeat when runner-up on his Belmont debut, having won well at Keeneland the time before. Entitled to come on for his latest run, he gets another chance.
Bluegrass Rye and Refer are respected but may struggle to get the better of TRACKING STOCK, a consistent individual who appears to have been found a winnable opportunity.
Porch Pounder and High I. Q. Pete. should have their say but DAHVEN WITH DOOLEY looks the one to beat. He showed plenty of promise on debut at Keeneland and has since been gelded, which could spark improvement.
Barrel Of Dreams and First Embrace have sound claims on paper, but possibly not has strong as CAP'S VOW. The latter was a decent second here last month and a repeat of that effort makes the daughter of Broken Vow the clear one to beat.
Following a close third in a $200,000 Grade 2 here, ROBILLARD has strong form claims in this allowance optional claimer and gets the nod over fellow class-droppers Itsonlyactingdad and Selenite.
There is plenty to like about the chances of Wicked Freud and Three For Me, but RUNAWAY POSSE deserves to get his head back in front having ran well without winning in similar races the last twice. He edges the vote.
THIN DRESS created a favourable impression when not beaten far in sixth on his racecourse debut over this C&D and improvement is expected, especially with blinkers now applied. She is preferred ahead of Spa Duchess and Stevie The Cat.
