MERNEITH has the strongest form in this. A runner-up in both outings at this level, Bob Baffert’s filly can open her account today and is preferred to stablemate and American Pharoah newcomer As Time Goes By. Saving Sophie has failed to show any progress on the Turf recently but has stronger form on this surface and makes more appeal than Last First Kiss while Lil Miss Moppet should improve for this extra distance for one of the track’s leading trainer’s. River Girl is another American Pharoah newcomer partnered by Flavien Prat for her debut.
