California Flag won this over C&D in 2009 but hasn't raced since scoring back at this track in April. Unbridled's Note has the more recent form with a victory in a prep-race over track and trip when beating Chosen Miracle though he'll need to step up on that to land this prize. Great Attack beat Bridgetown back in May but the latter has hit top form since over slightly shorter trips as when defeating Great Mills at Keeneland last month. A three-time winner on synthetic surfaces, Reneesgotzip may figure if back to her best along with Woodbine Grade 1 winner Next Question, but the Ballydoyle sprinter Starspangledbanner doesn't seem the force of old nowadays. In what looks an open affair, a chance is taken on CAMP VICTORY as he impressed when winning a Grade 1 at Hollywood in June and Mike Mitchell's charge will go very close with a reproduction of that.
