Cliffrose...Solid -- but brief -- 2006 season in Germany. Looked live coming into the stretch in US debut at Keeneland but then didn't have much to offer. Should be tighter today and find this trip more to her liking.
Honey Ryder...Just missed beating the boys in Florida and then got dusted by the guys in Dubai. She's the one to beat if she's rebounded from the overseas trip -- which is always a question mark.
Safari Queen...She'll be forwardly placed -- in fact, in this field she might well be in front... And prove tough to catch.
Barancella.

Wager: $5 WP on Cliffrose.
...$2 exacta box top two.
...$1 exacta box top four.
...$1 tri box top four.

Park Avenue Ball...Solid graded stakes winner makes turf debut but might have a class edge on this bunch.
Host...Lightly raced over the past couple of seasons -- will that take its toll as this one is another from the Pletcher barn making first start back from Dubai.
Touched by Madness...Capable on best.
Ballonenostrikes.

Wager: $5 WP on Park Avenue Ball.
...$2 exacta box top two.
...$1 exacta box top four.
...$1 tri box top four.

Hotstufanthensome...Seldom not part of the action over the past couple of seasons. 2007 debut was very good and now Beyers have dipped in two since -- which is a concern. But we'll look for a top effort with a distance that is perhaps more to his liking than last time.
Cloudy's Knight...Has been running well since late last year and will be heard from in the lane.
Ramazutti...Could be the one to catch.
Always First.

Wager: $5 WP on Hotstufanthensome.
...$2 exacta box top two.
...$1 exacta box top four.

Throng...Pletcher trainee looks set to run a good one coming off of two solid tries over the KEE Poly.
Gouldings Green...Second in this race last two years -- but comes into this one off of a long layoff.
Purim...Like him better on turf -- but is capable on dirt on best effort.
Buddy Got Even.

Wager: $5 WP on Throng.
...$2 exacta box top two.
...$1 exacta box top four.
...$1 tri box top four.

Cobalt Blue...Flopped in Chicago but they had legit G1 Ky Derby dreams prior to that. Should rebound vs these.
Level Red...Finished a decent third to top pick two back and drops blinkers off of G1 SA Derby dud.
Pirates Deputy...Baffert runner has had a steady stakes diet for awhile -- and he's done OK.
Leesider.

Wager: $5 WP on Cobalt Blue.
...$2 exacta box top two.
...$1 exacta box top four.
...$2 tri key Cobalt Blue over next three.
