Verdict

Based in Hong Kong, Rich Tapestry warmed up for this with a victory over track and trip beating last year's winner SECRET CIRCLE. But that was the latter's first start since February and Bob Baffert's sprinter should be spot on now for a repeat and confirm 2013 superiority with Private Zone and Bahamian Squall in the process. The selection's unbeaten stablemate Indianapolis steps up in class and Palace looks a bigger threat as he won a couple of Grade 1 sprints at Saratoga in August and had beaten subsequent winner Salutos Amigos before that. Bakken and Fast Anna are lightly-raced progressive types who should give a good account.
