California-based Shaaz, a 4-year-old son of Uncle Mo who went 3-for-3 under former trainer Bob Baffert, will make his first start for Sean McCarthy. He will break from Post 8 with Geroux aboard.

Also shipping from California is Elector, who is 2-for-2 this year for John Sadler. The 4-year-old Constitution colt drew Post 5 and will be ridden by Espinoza.

Another familiar name is Rated R Superstar, who will break from Post No. 1 with Gutierrez in the irons. The 9-year-old came off a four-month break and raced once each month at Oaklawn this year, winning the Essex (G3) and the listed Fifth Season.
