COMMON DEFENSE (8) was an effortless winner last time over 1m4f at Kentucky (Turf), scoring by 8 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Likely to feature. ZVEREV (6) finished second when resuming two runs back at Saratoga (Turf) then progressed nicely last time out to score by a nose as public elect over 1m3f at Saratoga (Turf). Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. BARRICADE (5) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by 0.8 lengths over 1m2 1/2f at Kentucky (Turf). One of the main contenders. MOUNT RUNDLE (3) is back from a break of three-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a narrow defeat over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Makes plenty of appeal.
