The Very Speedy R Boy Bode has gained all of his three career victories on Turf and with the inside berth will take some catching. Star Juancho would be regarded as a good bet if this were over 6f on Dirt but he's never raced on Turf in 27 starts and only once over the trip. Kyle, five times a winner on Dirt, is another making his Turf debut on his 36th start but Chief White Sox loves the surface. NEW YORK'S FINEST is well up to this level and has gained his eight career victories on this surface. He's not the best drawn but looks the safest option in a tricky event.
