8: Dontrufflemyfeathers (Klaiber, Pride)124/20-1

9: Your Favorite (Swiontek, Livingston)124/5-1

CORONA SPRINGS is the class of the field and strictly the one to beat. HAIL YEZ JESS is alert gate-breaker but will have to give top performance to pull off the upset. YOUR FAVORITE has come up a dollar short last three efforts.

5: He's So Zazzy (Mojica, Jr., Bravo)120/10-1

6: Adens Dream (Hamilton, Robertson)124/2-1

ADENS DREAM gets ideal outside draw to stalk the inside speed and pounce. Ran career-best speed number last out, winning by 5 lengths. Barnmate SUPERSTAR LEO comes off the bench with some sharp works. The veteran has class edge but is light in the winning department. STORM POWER makes his Canterbury debut and has been training steadily out of the Diodoro barn. Must consider if he's ready to fire off the extended absence.

7: Unique Gold (Loveberry, Van Winkle)124/10-1

8: Bourbon Street Boy (Ramgeet, Lund)124/2-1

PERMIT TO CARRY has run on a wet surface last four efforts on the main track. Might be one to beat with class relief and dry track. Stablemate LOGAN'S HEROE, will come out firing, as he did last effort, going gate-to-wire for the win. BOURBON STREET BOY exits prolonged pace battle but got collared late down the stretch, settling for second best. Expect to be involved from the start.

7: Look Out Baby (Hernandez, Berndt)120/9-2

8: Olympic Lady (Canchari, Kenney)124/5-2

OLYMPIC LADY gets class relief after aiming too high last two performances. Won three back against similar company in frontrunning fashion. NOTIONAL STAR has tactical speed and fits right in with this field. Should be on or near the lead from the beginning. JAVA CHICK takes massive class drop and should expect better effort on the drop.

10: Star Spangled (Sanchez, Broberg)118/5-1

11: Blues Orbit (Escobar, Rhone)124/10-1

RINO BOY has yet to run on the grass but might attempt to control the speed on the lead as lone frontrunner. STAR SPANGLED has been facing stronger and too tries the turf experiment. FEAR FIGHTER is your likely post-time favorite due to connections but is a beatable favorite. Expect to be sitting in the basement before uncorking a big run.

7: Saganaga (Goodwin, Scherer)124/6-1

8: Benson Hillbilly (Mawing, Sweere)124/8-1

9: Smooth Stroke (Delgado, Rarick)124/6-1

JUSTCALLME CHARLIE returns to the main track, where he does his best running. Three straight wins on the dirt coming in. MINES MADE UP was in too deep of water last out in stakes race; expect better at this level. BENSON HILLBILLY could upset if he can transfer his turf form to the dirt.

8: Gaylesluckylady (Keith, Biehler)119/10-1

9: Cup o' Tea for Me (Wolff, Wolff)124/20-1

GO GO EVA's only race on turf one was last out, when she was second best in a decent field. Gets new barn with strong connections. FAIR MISS LADY appears to be lone speed and will take the field as far as she can go. EPPUR SI MOUVE and MISS BROOKSIDE are must-use in this wide-open affair.

7: Good N Naughty (Lindsay, Diodoro)120/8-1

8: Queen Sammy (Delgado, Rarick)124/10-1

HIT IT UP cuts back in distance, after throwing in the towel routing on the grass last out. Confirmed stalker, will let others sacrifice themselves on the lead before attacking. COUGAR CREEK will ride the pine with ground-saving trip, and should be involved from the bell. GIVE ME THE MONEY returns to sprinting, after a couple of solid efforts routing, including a frontrunning win two back.

6: Cuando Again (Joubert, Hanson)120/5-1

7: Ease It On Over (Loveberry, Bravo)120/9-2

SCRUMPY TOWN has speed figures that tower over the field and is strictly the one to catch and beat. Both EASE IT ON OVER and CUANDO AGAIN have been sidelined for an extended period but pose the biggest threat to the top choice if ready to go.
