Warrior's Reward...Was kind of bouncing around the second-string of the 3YO division for most of the year. Cutback to sprint today -- but note the lifetime best Beyer was at this trip.
Keechi Bullet...Has to be better than last time.
El Brujo...Fired a lifetime best Beyer in winning a G3 last time.
His Greatness.

Gozzip Girl...Trouble was too great to overcome last time. Should rebound with a clean trip.
Miss World...Improved and improving in 2009.
Lady Shakespeare...Only one blemish on the 2009 record -- and that was on this track. But that was earlier this year -- she's better now. Dangerous.

Arcadius...Been running well since late spring.
Three Carat...Could be ready with one under the belt after a long layoff.
Sermon of Love...The runner that provided jock Hodson with her flat win at Saratoga - but he's even more of a player over the jumps.

Sweetlalabye...Look for improvement in second try around two turns.
Joanie's Catch...On the other hand, she took to two turns swimmingly, beating the top pick last time.
Winsockie...Liked the stretchout last time. Or was it the turf? We'll know more today.

Providanza...Might have a slight class-edge on these.
Royal Card...Certainly looks talented enough to compete for the top spot -- but, like others in here, is trying turf for the first time.
Proud Osceola...Should be rolling late.

Bim Bam...Liked the stretchout last time.
Jackson Bend...Beat top pick in latest but has yet to go the distance.

Sal the Barber...Beyers certainly say he'll compete here -- but record seems to indicate he's still kind of trying to figure it all out. Tread lightly.
Pound Foolish...Has some closing kick on turf.
Grand Cash...Should appreciate the return to grass.

Rainbow View...Been facing some of the best in her division in Europe.
Treat Gently...Competitive in Europe last year. Won 2009 debut in first US start -- but that's the only start this season which is a concern.
Salve Germania...Won a Saratoga G2 in her lone stateside race.

Quijano...Nice just-miss effort in prep for this. Only concern is that he did the same thing last year and then had trouble in this race. Let's hope for better in 2009.
Just as Well...Sheppard trainee was second behind Gio Ponti in the G1 Arlington Million and then moved up to first in the G1 prep for this. Obviously capable.
Champs Elysees...Looking at the almost $2mil bankroll it's kind of hard to believe -- but this one has never quite lived up to his potential. Like the top pick he comes into this in similar fashion as last year where he had some trouble here.
