Smart mare. 3 wins from 5 runs this year. Respectable neck second of 8 to Tony Ann in Grade 2 Franklin Stakes (72/100) at Keeneland (5.5f, good) 20 days ago. Obvious player on the pick of her form.

Smart mare. Career best when winning 8-runner Grade 2 Franklin Stakes at Keeneland (5.5f, good, 781/100) 20 days ago by neck from Caravel. Going the right way but this requires another chunk of improvement.

7/2
Very speedy front runner who showed improved form when winning the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York in August. Not disgraced when 3¼ lengths fourth of 12 to Arzak in Grade 2 Woodford Stakes at Keeneland (5.5f, firm) since and the return to a bare 5f will suit. Leading contender.

15/2
Seemed to excel himself in first-time blinkers when length third of 18 to Highfield Princess in Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp at Longchamp (5f, good to firm) 34 days ago, nearest finish. Possibilities if backing that up.

Smart filly. 4 wins from 5 runs this year but ran below form in Grade 3 Turf Monster Stakes (6/10) at Parx (5f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Must bounce back.

Smart horse. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner Grade 2 Woodford Stakes at Keeneland (5.5f, firm, 1183/100) 28 days ago by 2 lengths from Our Shot. Well positioned that day but still needs considering.

Useful gelding. Seven wins from 17 Flat runs. Creditable 2 lengths third of 12 to Arzak in Grade 2 Woodford Stakes at Keeneland (5.5f, firm, 612/100) 28 days ago. This demands more.

Forecasts

Motorious (10/3), Live In The Dream (7/2), Bradsell (5/1), Roses For Debra (13/2), Lane Way (13/2), Aesop's Fables (15/2), Caravel (15/2), Nobals (10/1), Big Invasion (10/1), One Timer (10/1), Arzak (16/1), Jasper Krone (16/1), Twilight Gleaming (16/1), Beer Can Man (25/1), Tony Ann (33/1), Gear Jockey (40/1)

Verdict

The very speedy LIVE IN THE DREAM sets the standard on his Nunthorpe win and, with a return to a bare 5f sure to suit, he earns the vote. Last year's winner Caravel warrants the utmost respect, while others to take seriously are Motorious and Arzak.
