#1 TAYLORSLILBITOFSHINE Filly collected 6 extra wins and banked simply over a 182Kc in one other strong season. Final season’s three YO Route champion appears so as to add extra {hardware} to her assortment with a comfy rail spot tonight. Her wins for probably the most half have come in opposition to allowance foes she’s she’s been robust all season lengthy at these marathon distances. She does her finest work on or simply off the early tempo, with the rail tonight she would possibly make issues fascinating if she will be able to set some straightforward fractions early.
#2 TAYLORMAKESMEMAD 5 YO a number of graded stakes successful mare wants an enormous end tonight to push her earnings previous the 1,000,000c mark. 2nd in final season’s Champ Route finals for older horses she’s struggled this season discovering wins and it seems she could also be getting a little bit lengthy within the tooth to problem for the highest honors. Nonetheless able to a podium spot when she fires her finest. Strong likelihood beneath. #three BEASTLY PLANET Misplaced a nostril bob in her solely race of substance this season in a brief 5 race marketing campaign. She’s confronted high class foes her whole profession, however would not have as polished a resume at these route distances for me to consider her type will change tonight. Wants a high trip to issue. #four AL AN APEX Colt certified tonight off a few third place efforts in opposition to this group going shorter. His success at these marathon distances have been disappointing ending off the board within the Champ Route conso every of the previous two seasons. Wants to point out extra to problem for the minors. #5 SYLVIA TRENCH Had her finest race in opposition to this group final out ending a tough charging 2nd to former H.O.Y VARYS TOUCH. She’s had a modest four YO season accumulating only one win and 47Kc for her efforts.

This 5 YO race mare has been extra of a 10F specialist throughout her profession, however has run admirably going lengthy earlier than ending 4th on this occasion 2 seasons in the past. Restricted resume at this distance leaves her off my tickets. #eight VARYS TOUCH Former H.O.Y final season at three has quietly had a strong four YO season notching 5 extra wins to his already gaudy win complete and banking simply over 227Kc in earnings. The three YO Basic and Route champ enters tonight’s occasion in nice type, successful by open lengths in his final going 10F.

Colt confirmed his robust late kick two again rallying from eighth to simply stand up in time in opposition to this group going 12 panels. He is been recognized to run large on the most important stage earlier than and cannot be counted out particularly at this distance. The longshot G1 Seattle Slew Derby champion final season at 12F, turned just a few heads along with his close to final to first end within the Basic ultimate that very same season. He has one of many strongest late kicks within the recreation and might be heard from late if he can uncoil that devastating run once more. #10 ASSASSIN’S CREED Stylish filly is zeroing in on the half million mark in earnings if she will be able to run into the highest 2 in right here. She’s winless this season, however has solely began 6 instances and has been ITM in four of these tries in opposition to this group. She tracked a runaway winner final out within the Basic Conso earlier than giving means within the late phases to be 4th. She’s run properly at these marathon distances earlier than, however has had been slighted with poor posts in most of her races. That sadly would not change tonight.
