Genuine tempo with the speedy Billy Lincoln leading the way. BOURBON EMPRESS (3) is a class dropper fresh up in this. She has a good course record. Threat in this on dry or wet ground. GRANDE GALLO (7) has been racing super in four of her last five runs. Course proven. Wet tracker. Impossible to omit from anywhere. WHISKEY 'N ROSES (8) has run good placings in both starts this time in and the latter came at G3. Drawn ideally. Multiples must. PERICLES (6) is a course winner. He has been placed third up before. Trifecta and first four must include here. IMPREVU (2) is a multiple class dropper resuming in this who has a good record fresh up. Can handle all types of footing and can feature. Include the mare here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bourbon Empress and Grande Gallo are win wagers.
