FIRST RACE
Zabava...Improving Beyers seems to say he's primed.
Codrington...Back to turf.
Woodfin...If ready of the layoff.
Devious Charm.
Temple City Terror.

SECOND RACE
Beau Luminaire...Last tabs him as one to watch.
Travelling Midas... Much improved on the return.
Gump...Contends if able to rebound to back numbers.
Top Seed.

THIRD RACE
Largent...Has shown talent in first four starts.
Unleveraged... Chad/Klaravich runner is lightly-raced and perhaps still has upside.
Tribhuvan...Euro-import from Brown.
Temple.

FOURTH RACE
Vitalogy...Stakes-winner here in lone 2020 start.
South Bend...Behind top pick last time - but has gone well since switch to grass.
Get Smokin...Will try to take them all the way.
Summer to Remember.

FIFTH RACE
Network Effect...Seasonal debut for lightly-raced 4YO from Chad/Klaravich. Has shown promise to be a top runner.
Chewing Gum...Lifetime best Beyer in seasonal debut.
Almashriq...Won US debut in fine fashion.
Intrepid Heart.

SIXTH RACE
Bodexpress...Might prove interesting as a pace play.
Realm...Seems capable with this bunch on a best effort.
Rare Form...Also contends on best.
Harvey Wallbanger.

SEVENTH RACE
Lucky Polly...Seems likely there's some speed in here to shoot at.
Walk In Marrakesh...Just missed in two US starts.
Cheermeister...Will try to take them all the way.
Highland Glory.

EIGHTH RACE
Last Judgement...Might need to step it up - but that seems possible for the lightly raced 4YO from Pletcher.
Jackson...Lifetime best Beyer last time.
Vekoma...Promising 2019 3Yo makes return. Not seen since disappointing Ky Derby.

Majestic Dunhill.

NINTH RACE
Newspaperofrecord...I'll bite. Disappointed 3YO campaign after a stellar freshman season. Let's see if she rebounds with 4YO debut.
Getmotherarose...Off the latest.
Zofelle...Will be rolling late.
Jakarta.

TENTH RACE
Mean Mary...Lightly-raced but clearly talented and seemed to show ability at a distance last time.
Gentle Ruler...Super-solid 2019 season.
Elizabeth Way...2-2 since arriving stateside.
Get Explicit.

ELEVENTH RACE
Tonalist's Shape...Beyer in seasonal debut caused concern from some - I stuck with her last time and the Beyer bounced back. Still does have to answer the two-turn question though.
Spice is Nice...Actually favored over the top pick last time. She should benefit from that experience - it was only her second start.
Lake Avenue...Really impressed in 2019 G2 Demoiselle - but what happened last time?!? Still, she flashed enough talent last year that a rebound wouldn't surprise.
Lucrezia.

TWELFTH RACE
Zulu Alpha... Hard to knock the current form.
Channel Cat...Clunked in G1 Pegasus Turf. Better than that.
Focus Group...Capable on best.
Bemma's Boy

THIRTEENTH RACE
Somebeyay...Seems to be in peak form.
March to the Arch...Primed in third start of 2020.
Ballagh Rocks...Has flashy back Beyers. Also making third start back.
English Bee.

FOURTEENTH RACE
Tiz the Law...Certainly looked the part in 3YO debut.
Ete Indien...Done no favors by the post position - but he managed to overcome that last time in fine fashion.
Gouverneur Morris...Seasonal debut was promising.
Independence Hall.


If we are interested in both halves of an entry -- in event of a scratch -- it is noted that way [in other words, both halves are named]. If only one-half of the entry is named, then we prefer that half and will move to our next pick listed [rather than the other half of the entry] in event of a scratch.
