The unbeaten TAMARA looks set to start a strong favourite as she recorded a superior speed figure when landing a Grade 1 at Del Mar. She’s been trained at this track since that victory and looks the one to beat. Candied is another unbeaten Grade 1 winner at Keeneland and is preferred of the Todd Pletcher trio. She beat the earlier Spinaway winner Brightwork on that occasion while Just F Y I won at the highest level when successful in the Frizette at Belmont and Chatalas beat Scalable in a Grade 2 prep-race here last month.
