COMMENTS: ELLE Z is a head away from winning four in a row including the top last race speed figure. JOUSTER is one for one at Keeneland and could move forward in her second race off the break. CAMPANELLE has two wins and a third in three at the distance. HEADLINE HUNTER is a bit of a longshot but has the top early pace numbers in the field at a distance where half the winners went wire to wire.

COMMENTS: STRAVA finished third behind CYBERKNIFE who came back to win the Arkansas Derby and is one for one at Keeneland. IN DUE TIME could be the pacesetter in a race loaded with closers. ETHEREAL CHROME has by far the strongest late run but might not catch the right pace. MIDNIGHT CHROME gets the high win rate rail. He finished behind the Wood Memorial and Blue Grass Stakes winners in his last.

COMMENTS: SHANTISARA has been off for a while but her workouts say she is ready. REGAL GLORY has run six ultra high quality races in her last seven starts. NAVRATILOVA should be the pacesetter and could steal this if the opening half mile is slower than 48 and a half seconds. WALIYAK is another that has been on the sidelines for a bit. She has run against tougher company and been a threat to win in five of her last 10 outings.
