No. 1 Competitive Idea (3-1) won this race last year and exits a sharp local allowance win at this trip. He always runs his early-pressing race at this course and distance. 

No. 6 Albizou (5-2) is a consistent late runner exiting a stakes win at Remington Park. He runs well fresh and enjoys this distance. He should be heard from in the lane under Cristian Torres. 

No. 8 Truth Seeker (7-2) turns back after a show finish in a stakes race at 1 1/8 miles. The veteran gelding does some of his best work at this distance and should be closing in the lane.
