BROOKLYN STYLES (7) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1207m at Aqueduct (Turf). Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. TROUBLEONTHEGREEN (5) has two placings from three runs this preparation, most recently finishing second as favourite over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) after being well positioned to strike on the bend. Freshened for this. Worth another chance. PROTECT AND DEFEND (4) is a two-year-old colt at the races for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Munnings from Hold Harmless. Promising type who is ready to run a bold race. TITANIO COCO (9) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1006m at Gulfstream Park, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
