Group 2 winner OTTOMAN FLEET (1) stuck on well to finish second last start over 1m1f in the G2 Fort Marcy Stakes at Aqueduct (Turf), beaten 0.3 lengths as favourite. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. Group 2 winner EMMANUEL (2) finished 7 lengths from the winner in fifth last time out in the G1 Makers 46 Mile Stakes at Keeneland (Turf) over 1m. Has never been out of the money in three starts at this trip, including three wins. I Ortiz Jr who has three wins when partnering stays on. Fitter and is expected to feature. CHASING THE CROWN (6) did a good job to salute by 2.25 lengths when resuming in a weaker race last start over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Has a liking for this trip and is among the leading chances. Group 3 winner SMOKIN' T (3) finished third last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has a sound record here with two wins and a placing from five starts. Should run very well.
