Verdict

Wesley Ward always requires plenty of attention at this venue and saddles two, Stylish Rags and Eagle Eye. However, preference is for DESTINIQUE, who made it back-to-back victories when getting the better of the consistent Artie's Rose (second) last time. Hellcat Warrior also scored last time out and is noted.

Verdict

Wesley Ward enjoys plenty of two-year-old success at this venue and his TWILIGHT GLEAMING, who cost over $90,000 could be the answer here. Shesgotattitude has looked a useful operator on the workout track and requires plenty of respect, while Burrow Down and Another Flat Drunk are others to consider.

Verdict

PROMISE KEEPER was found wanting in Grade 2 company last time, but before that Todd Pletcher's colt was an impressive winner at Gulfstream and could get back on track here. Kinetic Sky cost $450,000 as a yearling and has won two of his four starts to date while Good Culture made the perfect start when a winning debutant at Aqueduct and could have a bright future.

Watch out for: Kinetic Sky (2)
