Rose Cotton shaped with plenty of promise when third last time out and second three starts back, and her experience over today's trip and going gives her strong claims from stall five. The chief concern is that 47 days off the track may leave her just short of peak sharpness.

Patrol shaped with plenty of credit last time, finishing third nine days ago, and also ran second twice in recent starts — a consistent profile that makes him the one to beat here, even if he remains winless in his last six. Has run over today's trip and going, and carries 135 lb from stall one.

Winless in his last six starts, Triple Double A nonetheless carries a speed rating of 88 that marks him as one of the sharper threats in this field, and he has experience over today's trip and conditions; the concern is a recent sequence of mid-to-rear finishes that is hard to dismiss.

Showed a return to form with a win five starts back, but has finished third at best in her last four outings since; Twilight Moon has run over today's trip and going, carries 134 lb from stall seven, and represents a midfield profile that could see her involved without necessarily threatening the principals.

Moonjid has run over today's trip and going, and his win four starts back shows he can produce when conditions align, but three subsequent finishes of fourth, fifth and seventh in his last six starts suggest consistency remains elusive carrying 134 lb from stall nine.
