Useful performer for Sir Michael Stoute culminating in close third in Group 1 Sun Chariot Stakes. Yet to score in the USA but ran well here last year and trips seems to suit now, place claims. Current odds 12/1

Won this race a year ago and has been primed for a repeat, my idea of the winner. Current odds 3/1
|
| 3 (3) |  | 3-21321 | Rutherienne dk m Pulpit - Ruthian | 5 8 - 12 | - Alan Garcia
- Christophe Clement
|
Easily her best form has been at Belmont and Woodbine suggesting she is more at home over those big circuits. Has been beaten three times by Forever Together in the past year so as such should not reverse the form. Current odds 14/1

|
Successful on polytrack in the UK before exported to California where she has proved a revelation. Four times a Grade 1 winner including her last three and all have been on turf. Current odds 4/1
|
| 5 (5) |  | 20-2131 | Pure Clan ch f Pure Prize - Gather The Clan | 4 8 - 12 | - Garrett Gomez
- Robert Holthus
|
Well beaten in this a year ago but has bounced back with victories at Arlington and Belmont, the latest a Grade 1 so has place claims on those efforts. Current odds 10/1
|
| 6 (6) |  | 212312 | Midday b f Oasis Dream - Midsummer | 3 8 - 8 | |
Nassau Stakes winner and Oaks runner-up who has had a long season and hard race in france last time, place claims at best. Current odds 11/4
|
| 7 (7) |  | 18-5316 | Dynaforce b m Dynaformer - Aletta Maria | 6 8 - 12 | - Kent Desormeaux
- William Mott
|
Useful for Andre Fabre but has improved with age and had two Grade 1 victories to her credit in the USA. May find this track on the sharp side as her best efforts have come at Belmont. Ignore latest run on soft ground Current odds 16/1
|
| 8 (8) |  | 111-13 | Maram dk f Sahm - American Dreamer | 3 8 - 8 | |
Won the Juvenile Fillies Turf here a year ago from Heart Shaped but the runner-up has never won another race. Third in a stakes race at Belmont last time, form that wouldn't be good enough for this Current odds 25/1
|
Conclusion
As much as I would love to see it happen, don't think Midday can win so as such sticking with the home team and last years winner Forever Together who really should take the world of beating.
Selection
Forever Together 3/1
