EXPLORA (7) was a most impressive winner last time over 1m1/2f at Group 2 level at Santa Anita (Dirt), scoring by 4 lengths. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. BOTTLE OF ROUGE (2) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has scored at her last two, the latest over 7f in the G1 Del Mar Debutante Stakes at this track (Dirt) winning by one length. Unbeaten here and rates a strong winning chance. TOMMY JO (5) scored last start in the G1 Alcibiades Stakes at Keeneland (Dirt) to make it three wins from three starts this campaign. Has a high cruising speed. One to consider. PERCY'S BAR (4) fought on for second last start over 1m1/2f in the G1 Alcibiades Stakes at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten 2. 75 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
