COMMENTS: PROTON won both of his races despite not getting a clean trip in either. PLUTARCH is yet to win in a trio of starts but has probably faced the hardest schedule. LATER THAN PLANNED gets Rispoli and DAmato and everybody knows you play them on turf together. ITZA LOCK went way wide in a sprint last out and should benefit from moving inside and to a route today.

COMMENTS: CEE DREW surged at the end of her debut and should like getting more distance today. TOO SASSY could get out to an easy lead versus these and could be hard to catch with modest fractions. MOHAVEN is another that could benefit from going longer and should be involved from start to finish. MISS KONA is yet another that will likely enjoy some more runway today but will need to break a little quicker than she has so far to not be left too far behind early.

COMMENTS: PURO MAGIC drops from a Group I in Japan with some really fast sprint times. GREAT VENEZUELA hit the board in seven of seven on turf and five of five at the distance. SHOOT IT TRUE can win from the front or middle or back. QUEEN MAXIMA tends to make a strong mid move and is hard to beat if she translates it into being first in the stretch.

COMMENTS: SAMMY DAVIS has some fast works getting ready for his first race since early September. OCEAN BEAR seems to be getting better the longer the races go and this is the longest to date. THIRSTY REBEL appears to be ready to fly out of the gate following a blistering three furlong workout. SOUTHERN MELODEE is getting progressively better and showed a lot of heart in getting the maiden win last out.

Alternate 112-16Intricate SpiritJ Rosario
Alternate 25-111SchwarzeneggerJ R Velazquez

COMMENTS: Like last year, good luck in this one as many horses can win with quality international invaders. TRUE LOVE looks like the best of the international contingent with three wins and places in six races. LENNILU won two in a row including the highest last race speed figure. BRUSSELS has solid turf breeding and has shown well on good footing. HAVANA ANNA pressed the pace in her last and could benefit from a shorter race.

COMMENTS: EXPLORA should sit right off the pace and try to run by with a strong late push to the wire. MEANING smoked around the track as the thirty cent favorite in her debut and has a hot Del Mar work since. TOMMY JO could end up as the post time favorite in a race that sets up nicely for her. IRON ORCHARD is unbeaten in three and you just do not know how good a horse is until it loses. We will find out today.

COMMENTS: PRECISE could be the lowest odds of the day and deservedly so as she has made easy work of Group I company in Europe. QUEEN OF HAWAII might get overlooked here but just might have an extra gear to power her home late. IMAGINATIONTHELADY had a circuitous trip around Keeneland winning a Grade II and could be really dangerous with a clean route today. FINAL ACCORD went five wide and won with a strong late push and might like more distance today.

COMMENTS: TED NOFFEY sits off the pace, and there is not much of it here, and rolls on by at the end. BRANT could steal this on the pace with the right fractions. MR. A. P. is getting better race by race and will make a power mid move to get into contention. INTREPIDO ran much better early pace numbers and has already shown top end late speed, put them together and she could upset.

COMMENTS: GSTAAD has answered the call versus top company and all the others have a lot to prove. HEY NAY NAY is going to go forward versus a field that wants to close and just needs the right fractions. STREET BEAST will probably try to cozy up with GSTAAD and see if he can outrun him to the finish line. BOTTAS had difficult trips in both of his races and still won. Maybe a cleaner trip and he wins again.
