SPECIAL AGENDA finished a strong second the last time out and looks the one to beat. Hidalgo drops in class after a poor debut and Brilliant Plan showed promise when third on debut.

Verdict

MODO looks the one to beat after an impressive victory in the Yellow Rose Stakes last time out. Stacy's Princess won well over C&D the last time out and Too Much Kiki finished second in that same Yellow Rose Stakes.
