Very smart mare. Course winner. 2/5, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner La Troienne Stakes at Churchill Downs (8.5f) 64 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Lady Kate. Won this in 2018.

Forecasts

Monomoy Girl (5/4), Swiss Skydiver (15/8), Ollie's Candy (12/1), Horologist (14/1), Valiance (16/1), Harvest Moon (16/1), Ce Ce (20/1), Dunbar Road (33/1), Lady Kate (40/1), Point Of Honor (40/1)

Verdict

SWISS SKYDIVER wasn't at her very best when runner-up in the Kentucky Oaks but took her form to a new level with a gritty win in the Preakness at Pimlico last month. She is taken to cap off a superb 3-y-o campaign with victory here, though Monomoy Girl, a winner of this in 2018 is a pretty formidable opponent.

  1. SWISS SKYDIVER (USA)
  2. MONOMOY GIRL (USA)
  3. VALIANCE (USA)
