ICONA (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) over 1710m after being in contention all the way. Has the talent to find the winners' list. OSCAR'S ENCORE (3) comes here off a win last time out, scoring by one length over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf). Gets some weight relief this time. Expected to be very competitive again with the introduction of Lasix. LA CANTERA (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at Churchill Downs Turf over 1811m. Has a formidable record at this journey with three wins and two placings from seven starts and is one of the prime contenders. ANNELLE (11) is returning from a spell of nine months. Finished fifth at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf) over 1509m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Victoria H Oliver.
