This race is full of closers, and Flavien Prat might steal this aboard No. 7 Beside Herself (9-2). The sophomore filly made the lead on four occasions in turf routes, and she won three of those races. One of those wins was a local affair in the spring, and she also wired the field at this distance at Saratoga during the summer.

No. 2 Luck Money (4-1) has not won since the 2020 Zagora Stakes. She ran well in all three local turf starts, including a good runner-up finish in this event last year. She exits an encouraging show finish in a turf route stakes at Kentucky Downs and should be within hailing distance throughout.

No. 8 Stand Tall (12-1) has tactical speed and she is 2-for-2 at Keeneland. She can spice up the exotics.
