No. 1 Truancy (3-1) ran well in all four starts in New York. The early-pressing filly cruised in her lone try at this distance, and she cuts back after a close runner-up finish versus state-bred males at 1 1/8 miles. Barclay Tagg is enjoying a productive meet, and she should attend the pace from the inside post under Joel Rosario.
No. 4 Signal From Noise (5-2) landed the place in her career debut, and that was a productive race. She aired at this distance second time out and is a logical prominent throughout contender for quality connections.
No. 5 Classy Edition (7-2) won a pair of New York-bred stakes races in 2021. She landed the place in the local Davona Dale (G2) last winter and has not been seen since an even effort in the Gazelle (G3) at 1 1/8 miles. Todd Pletcher is a strong layoff trainer, and she figures to stalk the pace under her new rider Luis Saez.
No. 6 Olga Isabel (9-2) removes blinkers and should attend the pace. She broke her maiden at this distance.
