Operation SunriseJaime A. Torres - William I. Mott91	2/1	2/1
Looks the part on breeding (by War Front) and related to Grade 3 winner Antoinette, off the mark at the second time of asking when running away with the race three weeks ago (dropped back to 5½f) at Ellis Park in a maiden special weight, a likely player as showed promise in workout a week ago and jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.
Our Starry NightLuis Saez - Philip A. Bauer261	9/2	9/2
Came out on top by just under 2l over 5½f at Saratoga (maiden special weight) when registering his first success at the third time of asking two weeks ago, has a nice pedigree (by Maclean's Music) and related to Stakes winner Accredit, the Philip Bauer outfit is running hot currently, should be in the mix.
FloodlitesJunior Alvarado - Wesley A. Ward61362-4	11/2	11/2
Was disappointing when fourth at 5-2 over 5½f at Ellis Park (allowance race) last month, has winning form over this course and distance on the CV, from a top stable, plenty of appeal if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.
Pharoah's DynastyJose L. Ortiz - Steven M. Asmussen187	7/1	7/1
No impression when seventh of 12 at Keeneland in October in a stakes, related to Grade 2 winner Four Wheel Drive, has had some time off, easy to see him making an impression if reproducing form of his win three starts back and lower class is a plus.
Northern ChillJoel Rosario - Matt A. Shirer125143	15/2	15/2
Decent effort when 14-1 third in an allowance race at Saratoga four weeks ago, has been consistent of late and is a multiple distance winner (all wins at this trip), likely to go well.
No Ah AManuel Franco - Chris M. Block1	10/1	10/1
Clear-cut victory at the first time of asking in Hawthorne maiden special weight over 5½f at 4-1 last month, related to Grade 3 winner Just Grazed Me.
Flat to Da MatTyler Gaffalione - Michael J. Maker1-54284	11/1	11/1
Almost victorious in a stakes three months ago, far from disgraced (beaten 2l) at Colonial Downs over 5½f (allowance race) last month, impressed on most recent trackwork and should give it a bold bid.
StigletsIrad Ortiz, Jr. - Philip D'Amato4-81388	12/1	12/1
Fair effort when beaten just under 4l, finishing eighth of 12 at Ellis Park over 1m (allowance race) five weeks ago, likely to be a threat as plenty to like about workout a week ago and has proved he knows how to win.
Furious AngerCorey J. Lanerie - Dale L. Romans16-3154	14/1	14/1
Has managed four wins from 16 career runs, was held in fourth in an allowance race at Ellis Park 41 days ago upped to 1m, tries turf for the first time, meeting some horses in good form and looks an unlikely winner.
The WardenJavier Castellano - Ron Moquett536439	14/1	14/1
Finished ninth, beaten 6l, four weeks ago at Ellis Park in an allowance race, this looks a fair heat so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.
DreaminblueEdgar Morales - Randy L. Morse2-19327	20/1	20/1
Close up behind Hit That Review when last in a stakes at Ellis Park last month, successful once in his career, makes limited appeal despite dropping in class.

Out of the frame (beaten 8l in third) at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 5½f (allowance race, muddy track) two weeks ago, others are preferred.
Oy GevaldIrad Ortiz, Jr. - James P. DiVito2-32821	SP	SP
Hammered six-runner field in a maiden special weight, opening his account at the sixth time of asking at Hawthorne three weeks ago.
Its Bourbon ThirtyBen Curtis - Jeremiah O'Dwyer35-6461	SP	SP
Finished sixth, beaten 9l, at Churchill Downs in June in a maiden special weight, now tackles shorter distance.
Moon SniperChris Landeros - Darrin Miller16-6459	SP	SP
Finished ninth of 12 in an allowance race (Ellis Park) upped to 1m last month, not really built on success in a maiden special weight last September at Horseshoe Indianapolis, dropped in distance here.

Autumn SunshineIrad Ortiz, Jr. - Brad H. Cox—	2/1	2/1
Sire gets turf winners, trainer does well here with debutants, this daughter of Munnings looks the part on breeding, leading contender as some good aspects to her profile and the trainer is in good nick.
Texas QueenBrian Joseph Hernandez, Jr. - W. Bret Calhoun643	3/1	3/1
Split a number of these rivals 26 days ago at Ellis Park when not beaten that far into third at 85-40 in a maiden special weight, should go close.

PointsetmatchJoel Rosario - Thomas M. Amoss4465	6/1	6/1
This now her fifth attempt to get off the mark, problems at the start (stumbled) in a maiden special weight back down to this trip at Horseshoe Indianapolis when fifth of six 22 days ago, can be in the mix as has been on the scene in the recent past.
Senora d'OroJulien R. Leparoux - Fausto Gutierrez5	7/1	7/1
Not beaten too far (just under 2l) on her debut in Ellis Park maiden special weight over 5½f when behind three of these at 18-1 26 days ago, can be in the mix if reproducing initial effort.
Mimi's GraceAdam Beschizza - Matt A. Shirer3252	9/1	9/1
Was on the premises (second, beaten just over 2l) at Oaklawn Park (muddy track) in December in a maiden claimer, Unified gets turf winners, returns from a layoff, has to be taken seriously despite having more on her plate.
One Happy IslandJames Graham - Matt Kordenbrock435-429	18/1	18/1
Has arguably shown improved form the last twice but yet to open her account after eight starts, finished ninth of 12 in March (Turfway Park) in a maiden special weight, has had some time off, not hard to turn elsewhere with this looking like a hot contest.
Sunshine DaydreamJunior Alvarado - William I. Mott50	18/1	18/1
11th of 12 at Ellis Park 20 days ago in a maiden special weight, others appeal more.
Miss Munny BagsManuel Franco - Robert Medina—	22/1	22/1
Sire does get winners on the turf, would be a surprise to see this one figure as facing a fairly tall order.
Bois BlancWalter A. Rodriguez - Justin Wojczynski98-8824	33/1	33/1
Split a number of these rivals over 5½f at Ellis Park (maiden special weight) posting a respectable effort to finish fourth 26 days ago, seems to be improving based on last two runs but winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at ten, a lot on her plate here and looks opposable.
Fifth WheelJaime A. Torres - Michael E. Lauer7-6625	50/1	50/1
Came up short at Horseshoe Indianapolis when fifth of 12 in a maiden special weight last month, stepped up on her last two starts, easy enough to take on.
CrimsonaJose L. Ortiz - Joe Sharp—	SP	SP
Sire gets turf winners, trainer can ready one, hard to ignore as some good aspects to her profile and the trainer is in good nick.
Bells of MaranelloKeith J. Asmussen - Steven M. Asmussen4	SP	SP
Held on her debut (6½f, Ellis Park) at 6-1 56 days ago, Nyquist gets turf winners, related to Grade 2 winner Conclude, has to be taken seriously.
Just JulesJunior Alvarado - William I. Mott4	SP	SP
Held fourth of 12 but was making her first appearance over 1m½f at Aqueduct at 11-2 in 2023, returns from a lengthy absence, steps down in trip.

Beer RunJose L. Ortiz - Wesley A. Ward5-232-32	9/4	9/4
From a respected yard and consistent performer, beaten half a length over 5½f at Saratoga (maiden special weight) 45 days ago, latest effort was encouraging so he is a serious player.
Mr BoboCorey J. Lanerie - Jeremiah O'Dwyer33	9/2	9/2
Finished third of ten over 1m½f at Ellis Park (maiden special weight) 19 days ago, looks likely to be involved.
Freedom StreetIrad Ortiz, Jr. - Saffie A. Joseph, Jr.34	9/2	9/2
Could not land a telling blow when fourth despite odds of 8-11 over 1m½f at Gulfstream Park (maiden special weight) five weeks ago, can be on the premises as he was strong in the market last time.

Not beaten too far when fourth at Churchill Downs in a maiden special weight in June.
Mary's LadBen Curtis - D. Whitworth Beckman5	11/2	11/2

Clear the BeachAdam Beschizza - Kelsey Danner2	11/2	11/2

PeixeJunior Alvarado - Wesley A. Ward—	15/2	15/2
From a trainer whose debutants need a market check, sole debutant in the line up, cannot be ignored with signs of encouragement in profile and there is speed in the pedigree.
Homer's OdysseyKeith J. Asmussen - Steven M. Asmussen75-4523	17/2	17/2
Has found improvement of late but winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at eight, solid run when third at Horseshoe Indianapolis (sloppy track) last month in a maiden special weight, hard enough to fancy as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.
Military CruiserIrad Ortiz, Jr. - Nicholas Vaccarezza0-593	14/1	14/1
Held when ninth beaten 16l at Churchill Downs two months ago in a maiden special weight.

OutofpiMario Gutierrez - Reina E. Gonzalez725354	33/1	33/1
Close up behind War Legend when fifth at Churchill Downs two months ago in a maiden special weight, yet to open his account after 12 starts, this is competitive and others appeal more.
KingsmereChase Miller - Darrin Miller7	50/1	50/1
Held on his debut at Churchill Downs in blinkers at 66-1 in November, Street Sense gets winners on the turf, returns from an absence here, couldn't rule out improvement although wouldn't get too carried away.
O' PatrickJareth Loveberry - Chris M. Block6	50/1	50/1
Problems early (sluggish) running over this trip at Hawthorne at 9-2 20 days ago, Mo Town gets turf winners, will need to step up from his racecourse introduction.

Limited LiabilityLanfranco Dettori - Claude R. McGaughey III212-326	1/1	1/1
Among the places in a Grade 2 four months ago and winner of four races from 1m½f to 2m½f, split Tawny Port and Lord Eddard Stark when sixth 42 days ago (Monmouth Park), now down in class and no surprise if he has a big say.
Flatten the CurveThore Hammer Hansen - Henk Grewe11-1141	5/2	5/2
Found life tough when 24l back in fourth at Saratoga over 1m6f (stakes Grade 2 Grade 3) in front of Tawny Port (sloppy track) in June, has picked up some decent prize money in 39 starts in Germany and France, winning seven times, might find this easier.
Tawny PortJoel Rosario - Miguel Clement336-675	13/2	13/2
A prolific winner at this level, finished fifth of nine in the Grade 2 United Nations Stakes (had Limited Liability and Lord Eddard Stark behind) at Monmouth Park when dropped down to 1m3f last month, booking of Joel Rosario takes the eye, must be respected if replicating best previous efforts and dropping in class.
GoldeneyeJose L. Ortiz - Kenneth G. McPeek177-511	15/2	15/2
Problems at the start (stumbled) over 1m1½f at Saratoga (allowance optional claimer) four weeks ago, has won at this course, on a hat-trick after last win, not dismissed despite having more on his plate.

Possesses winning form at this track, not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023), finished last of six (dropped back to 1m1f) at Del Mar 34 days ago in a Grade 2, might find this company a little easier but others appeal more.
San SiroTyler Gaffalione - Brendan P. Walsh3-14245	16/1	16/1
Unable to land a blow in fifth two months ago (Saratoga) in a Grade 2, among the places in a Grade 3 four months ago but all his wins have been at a lower level, others more likely despite dropping in class.
Lord Eddard StarkJavier Castellano - Joseph F. Orseno51-7758	SP	SP
A winner five times from 32 runs (7f-2m) but been generally quiet since successful in a stakes at Gulfstream Park in December, well held in the Grade 2 United Nations Stakes when behind two of these at Monmouth Park last month, passed over despite this looking a little easier than last time.
Freedom's WayLuis Saez - Eddie Kenneally7-45231	SP	SP
Stumbled at the start at Saratoga over 1m3f (allowance optional claimer) when successful by 1½l 38 days ago, wins have come at a lower level, has to prove this longer trip is what he wants and one to tread carefully with.

Kehoe BeachIrad Ortiz, Jr. - Wesley A. Ward111-344	9/2	9/2

ZeitlosJunior Alvarado - Steven M. Asmussen117-132	13/2	13/2
Produced a string of consistent efforts and proven that she knows how to get her head in front (seeking a tenth win), not beaten far at Saratoga dropped back in distance six weeks ago in a Grade 3, this looks tougher but has a shout.
Time to DazzleJose L. Ortiz - Mark E. Casse144-243	9/1	9/1
Consistent performer but has done all her winning at a lower level, not far behind Zeitlos when third over 5½f at Saratoga (Grade 3) six weeks ago, is passed over.
Lunar ImpactLanfranco Dettori - Dan Blacker-1415-13	12/1	12/1
Resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a fifth career win) but has gained all her wins at a lower level, turned in a solid effort in defeat six weeks ago, when third in a stakes at Del Mar upped to 1m, passed over.
Danse MacabreTyler Gaffalione - Miguel Clement2-28-361	16/1	16/1
A C&D winner, ran well in a Grade 3 five months ago, scored by a slim margin in an allowance optional claimer at Woodbine last month, more on her plate this time but could figure.

On target three times in her last six outings, has winning form over this course and distance on the CV, narrow winner of a stakes at Ellis Park 27 days ago, must be high on list despite being up in class and her most recent trackwork catches the eye.
OujdaManuel Franco - William Walden19611-1	20/1	20/1
Won by just over 1l in a stakes 28 days ago (Woodbine) on debut for this trainer, has proved to be something of a money spinner in France and Ireland, winning six times from 16 runs, up in class to allowance company, the stable continues to be among winners recently.
Jody's PrideJoel Rosario - Jorge R. Abreu4-35134	22/1	22/1
A proven winner with a wins-runs record of 4-11 and a winner of a Grade 2 four months ago, respectable fourth at Saratoga over 6f (Grade 2, sloppy track) six weeks ago, jockey does well from inside draws here so likely to be thereabouts.
Ocean ClubBrian Joseph Hernandez, Jr. - Thomas F. Proctor3-64317	33/1	33/1
Tailed off in a Grade 2 (Saratoga) 22 days ago, career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 6-21) and won a Grade 2 two months ago, this looks a fair heat so can be taken on.

Fair effort (beaten 1½l) when dropped in distance (Ellis Park) four weeks ago in a stakes, has achieved eight wins from 13 career runs but wins have come at a lower level, a few rivals look in good form so others have more pressing claims.

Eighth beaten 7l last month (Saratoga) in a Grade 3, resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a sixth career win) and won a Grade 2 in June, she is the only female runner, more on her plate but ought to be on the premises.
Arrest Me RedJunior Alvarado - Wesley A. Ward211-142	9/1	13/8

Air Force RedJose L. Ortiz - Leonard Powell713384	12/1	2/1
Far from disgraced (beaten 2l) at Del Mar over 1m (allowance optional claimer, bumped at the start) three weeks ago, career record shows his ability to win (wins-runs record of 7-29), this is competitive and looks opposable.
ArzakLuis Saez - Michael J. Trombetta62-7465	14/1	12/5
Successful eight times from 35 career runs, just over 2l fifth to the reopposing Bear River at Ellis Park when dropped to 5½f 27 days ago in a stakes, he can make a bold bid as pleasing in workout a week ago and his recent effort was encouraging.

Sprang 18-1 surprise in a stakes at Ellis Park four weeks ago when four of these were in arrears, a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 6-21 but has never won a race of this value, step up to allowance company will make life tougher so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

DuranteJaime A. Torres - David Jacobson433134	22/1	4/1
Creditable fourth (Ellis Park) last month in a stakes, ran well in a Grade 3 in June but yet to win a race of this value, this is competitive and he's easy enough to swerve.

Final GambitFlorent Geroux - Brad H. Cox114455	9/1	6/4
Far from disgraced (beaten just under 3l) at Saratoga four weeks ago in a Grade 1, could have less on his plate in this, the Brad Cox outfit is running hot currently, a likely player as pleasing in workout last week and he has won in classy company before.

Finished fifth, beaten 9l, in the Grade 1 Haskell at Monmouth Park 42 days ago, could have less on his plate in this, proven at a high level and should give it a bold bid.

Well held having been fancied when sixth in a handicap at Ayr last September, successful four times from 16 starts in Britain, picking up plenty of prize-money in the process, returns from a break here, now tackles shorter distance.
Lady IlzeAdrie De Vries - Andreas Wohler113-415	9/2	9/2
Successful five times from ten starts in Germany, Britain and Poland, picking up plenty of prize-money in the process, inaugural race in this jurisdiction so be interesting to see what the market makes of her, class rise to contend with.

Problems at the start (bobbled) in a stakes at Churchill Downs two months ago, admirable career strike-rate (four from 17 to date) and seeking a hat-trick today, now up to allowance level so looks an unlikely winner.

SegestaIrad Ortiz, Jr. - Chad C. Brown112-461	10/1	10/1
Scored narrowly in a Grade 3 at Monmouth Park last month, managed three wins in her last six outings, needs to be taken seriously.
In Our TimeTyler Gaffalione - Saffie A. Joseph, Jr.12-3262	12/1	12/1
Went close when runner-up in a stakes at Saratoga last month, has achieved three wins from 11 career runs but has never won a race of this value, steps up in grade so others are preferred.
Sacred WishManuel Franco - George Weaver31-2472	12/1	12/1
String of consistent efforts of late and successful four times from 21 career outings (6f-1m½f), behind Segesta in a Grade 3 (Monmouth Park) when going down narrowly (bobbled at the start) six weeks ago, hard to ignore.
Movin' On UpJose L. Ortiz - Saffie A. Joseph, Jr.4-11333	14/1	14/1
Has been consistent of late but all her victories have been gained at a lower level, bobbled at the start at Saratoga 51 days ago when third (beaten three-quarters of a length, went off favourite) in a stakes, others appeal more.
Neom BeachErik Asmussen - Steven M. Asmussen684111-	18/1	18/1
Has achieved six wins from 19 career runs, narrow winner of an allowance race at Lone Star Park last month, may have to settle for supporting role despite that win last time.
LandedJunior Alvarado - Wesley A. Ward1113-13	SP	SP
Third at Keeneland but only beaten 1l in an allowance optional claimer upped to 1m½f in April, has chalked up four wins from her last six, layoff to overcome, should give it a bold bid given her record when fresh and she can handle the step up in class.

SoulmanBen Curtis - Chris A. Hartman3	10/1	10/1
Remote third of ten on his debut at Ellis Park at 25-1 20 days ago, he shouldn't be far away as shown signs of ability in his exercise and the penny could well drop today.

Comes from a stable in good nick, trainer can ready a newcomer, Munnings gets winners on the turf.
Time for MoneyEdgar Morales - John Ennis—	16/1	16/1
