COMMENTS: POPPY FLOWER should be at, near top form in her third start off the bench. CHI TOWN LADY is undefeated in two and they have not been close. SLIPSTREAM won her last by 5 1/4 lengths and could be a touch better in her second start after a layoff. MIDNIGHT WORKER is trying grass for the first time, a 17% angle for trainer Todd Pletcher.

COMMENTS: SPICE IS NICE won her only trip across Belmont with one of her best races. HOROLOGIST won her last in a blowout, usually followed by another big effort. ROYAL FLAG has nine high quality starts in her last 10 outings. ZAAJEL is an all or nothing horse and looks due for an all effort.

COMMENTS: BREAKING THE RULES won his last with a late run, resume says he will be better in second start after a layoff. EN WYE CEE ran the top, last race speed figure and has trained well since. SACRED LIFE missed as the chalk in his last, trainer Chad Brown rebounds at 27%. TEMPLE has three consecutive speed figure increases, another could be enough.
