He won this race last year off of a layoff, and he should be primed to do that again today. He is clearly the class of this group and is strictly the horse to beat. #8 STONESIDE will benefit the most if the two mentioned above hook up in an early speed duel. Stoneside is a consistent type finishing on the board in six straight races. If the pace collapses he could break through with a win today. #6 MY SUMMER SLEW does not appear to be good enough to compete with the top two, but if you dig a little deeper you will notice that he has won his last three races when sprinting on the turf.

Koriner doesn't sound all that optimistic. In DRF he says, “He’s probably not as sharp as he was last year at this time."
That doesn't exactly sound like a glowing endorsement.
