10 Starry(L1) 119 Castellano x-x-x Brown 4-1

11 Beautifulnightmare(L) 119 No Rider 3-3-3 Friedman 5-1

Truffles closes in routes and should pack amplified kick with cutback to sprint. Skiddles n' Bob owns speed and sheds the shades for profitable "blinkers off" barn. Mi Hermana compiled sneaky-good work tab.

7 Ibboyee(L) 122 Velazquez 8-3-4 Pletcher 7-5

Be Bullish logs fast figures with machine-like consistency; short price is the knock. Ibboyee owns win and second in two starts at Spa and is training strongly for return from helpful 65-day freshener.
