PAGODE (6) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 9 lengths behind Flood Zone over 1m in the G3 Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct (Dirt). Blinkers added in a positive sign from the stable. VIA DEL CORSO (7) started at 3/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths at Hawthorne (Dirt) over 6f. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. SPECIAL CALIBER (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1m1/2f at Keeneland, beaten 10 lengths into seventh. Has the class to produce a better result. TREW VIOLENCE (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 30/11/2024, finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths over 1m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Comes here with definite top-three claims.
