#1 Privilege Plus (MIDAS) 4\/1<\/span> : Scratch that clunker two back off the page and you\u2019ve got a horse who\u2019s reeled off three graded stakes wins in his last four, capped by a dominant 5 \u00bc length score in the G1 AC Turnbulls Stakes. That effort came over this same course and distance, which makes it even more meaningful. Not sure what happened in the miss, but it\u2019s clear the prep worked. He\u2019s coming in with confidence and momentum. Ready to go back-to-back at the top level?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 Breaking The Fast (No Residency) 23\/1<\/span> : Big class test here, jumping into a G1 right off a claiming race, but what more could he have done in that prep? Dominated the 11-furlong turf route by 16 \u00bc lengths while posting a career-best speed figure. That said, he\u2019s been quiet outside the claiming ranks, and this is a whole different level. Can lightning strike again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 Mountain Gin (No Residency) 6\/1<\/span> : He looked like a major player in the division late last year with back-to-back G1 wins in the King Kong Cup and Spring Fling Stakes. Proved it wasn\u2019t a fluke with that gritty win in the G1 Aussie Queen this spring, but the last two starts have raised some red flags. Comes in off a 7th-place finish where he posted his lowest speed figure in over a year. Is the peak behind him, or can he bounce back at a track and distance he\u2019s handled before?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4 Golden Nay Wonder (Down Under Racing) 7\/1<\/span> : Still searching for his first stakes win after six tries, so staying in G1 company is a bold move, especially after a 7th-place effort in the G1 Canada Turf. He cuts back from 12 furlongs here, but it\u2019s not like shorter distances have yielded much more success. Can he find a breakthrough against this deep group?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 Pateador De Culo (No Residency) 5\/1<\/span> : Has won half of his career starts and has been patiently brought back into form after a disappointing 10th in the G1 Aussie Queen back in April. Rebounded with back-to-back wins, including the G3 Chicago Handicap at today\u2019s distance. Comes in off a solid third-place effort in the G1 Champion Stakes. Is he ready to take the next step back to the winner\u2019s circle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6 Xceptiontotherule (Orpan Racing) 5\/1<\/span> : Hasn’t found the winner\u2019s circle since taking the G1 The Kegasus Upper Deck Turf Extravaganza back in January. Since then, a string of disappointing results, including a 5th in the G1 Osmonds Memorial last out, suggest he’s no longer in top form. Set to make his 25th career start, is this veteran now past his prime?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#7 Queen Heels (Universal Racing Club) 23\/1<\/span> : A filly taking on the boys and trying something completely different here. She\u2019s coming in off three straight 5-furlong sprints, including a win in the In A Spin Turf Mare Sprint two back, but now stretches out to a route distance where she\u2019s 0-for-5 lifetime. This will also mark her first attempt against graded company, adding even more uncertainty. Can she overcome the question marks and surprise at a price?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#8 No Worse For Wear (Orphan Racing) 5\/1<\/span> : Looking to recapture the magic of that June win in the G1 The Eclipsed Stakes, where he stormed home by 2 lengths. His two efforts since haven\u2019t hit the same mark, but he did return to the podium with a third in the G1 Roberto Clemente. Proven consistency with 14 top-three finishes in 18 career starts makes him one to respect. Can he bounce back to his best form at the right time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#9 Spirit of Lyphe (GR Simsters) 4\/1<\/span> : Just when it looked like this one might be past his prime, he\u2019s turned back the clock with two strong graded efforts. In both, he came flying down the stretch, just missing in his latest, a runner-up finish in the G1 Deadwood Stakes. The move to 10 furlongs could be right up his alley. How much does he have left in the tank for start number 27?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
