Forecasts

Essential Quality (7/4), Hot Rod Charlie (11/4), Knicks Go (7/2), Medina Spirit (15/2), Art Collector (12/1), Max Player (18/1), Express Train (20/1), Tripoli (22/1), Stilleto Boy (80/1)

Verdict

This is likely to be run at a strong pace which could set things up for the likeable ESSENTIAL QUALITY, whose only loss from 9 career starts came when charting a wide path throughout in the Kentucky Derby. His stablemate Knicks Go is the form pick judged on his wins over 9f this year so this tight track is to his advantage tackling this distance for the first time. Medina Spirit is also a player.
