(6)  Diferencia | | | | | 3 | Tyler Gaffalione | Christophe Clement | Half-sister to Tough Company, won eight times between 6f and 1m. Only market support would make her of interest on debut. | ||

Beaten 7l behind Reckoning Force at 11-2 when seventh of 9 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 1m 1f (good) last month. He is wearing blinkers for the first time.

Beaten 1 1/2l behind Out Of Deductions at 9-2 when seventh of 9 on his latest outing at Ellis Park over 1m (good) in July. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Michael Maker.

One to consider in these calmer waters. | ||
(10)  Ocean Atlantique | | | | | 7 | L Dettori | Richard Dutrow, Jr | Winner of five races from 1m to 1m 2f on good ground and on the all-weather. Finished 2l behind Scoobie Quando when fourth of 11 at 85-40fav on his latest outing at Kentucky Downs over 1m (good) earlier this month. He doesn't appear the force of old. | ||
(11)  Cyber Ninja | | | | | 4 | Junior Alvarado | William Mott | Successful twice at 1m 3f on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 9l behind Reckoning Force at 13-1 when eighth of 9 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 1m 1f (good) last month. That lesser effort must be put behind him. | ||
(13)  Lucky Curlin | | | | | 7 | Jose Ortiz | Michael Maker | Winner of six races from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 12l behind Battle Of Normandy at 22-1 when last of 10 on his latest outing at Saratoga over 1m 3f (good) in July. Reserve. | ||

Beaten 1 1/4l by Movin' On Up when second of 7 at 17-5 on her latest outing at Churchill Downs over 1m 1f (good) in June. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Michelle Lovell.

1st (10)  Special Wan | | | | | 4 | Joel Rosario | P T Foley | A winner at 6f on yielding - soft ground. Third of 8 behind Jancis beaten 2 1/2l at 9-4fav on her latest outing in the Group 3 Brownstown Stakes at Leopardstown over 7f (good) in July.

A case can be made for a good handful of these but none appeals more than SPECIAL WAN, who was placed in a couple of Group 3 races during her time in Ireland and could make a flying start to her career in the US. Leo Toro and East Shore are just a couple of others to monitor in the betting.

3rd (1)  Three Priests | | | | | 5 | John Velazquez | R Varian | A winner at 1m 4f on firm ground, but that win was over two years ago. Finished 2l behind River Of Stars when fourth of 11 at 66-1 on her latest outing at Pontefract over 1m 4f (good to firm) in June. European raider who has to be of interest. | ||
2nd (6)  Vergara | | | | | 5 | Tyler Gaffalione | H Motion | She has won four times from 1m to 1m 2f on good ground. Third of 6 behind War Like Goddess beaten 1 3/4l at 15-2 on her latest outing at Delaware Park over 1m 3f (good) in July. Might find this is just out of her reach. | ||
1st (7)  Neecie Marie | | | | | 4 | Joel Rosario | Robert Reid, Jr | Winner of five races from 6f to 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 5 behind Moira beaten 2l at 7-1 on her latest outing in the Grade 2 Beverly D. Stakes at Colonial Downs over 1m 1f (good) last month. Reliable and is well worth considering. | ||
(2)  Chop Chop | | | | | 4 | Flavien Prat | B Cox | Winner of five races from 1m to 1m 4f on firm and good ground and on the all-weather. Third of 7 behind Mckulick beaten 2 1/2l at 3-1 on her latest outing in the Grade 2 Glens Falls Stakes at Saratoga over 1m 4f (good) last month. Has a good chance of adding a second Grade 3 win to her portfolio. | ||
4th (4)  Greenfinch | | | | | 3 | L Dettori | A P O'Brien | Successful at 7f and 1m on good ground and on the all-weather. Won on her latest outing when 3-1jt-fav at Killarney over 1m (good) in July, beating Sakti by 2 1/4l. Worth a try at this level. |
A decent renewal of this Grade 3 contest can go the way of CHOP CHOP, who is already a proven winner at this level and has a lot going for her. Angel Nadeshiko and Neecie Marie are a couple of other classy types to bear in mind.

ANCIENT ROME finished a creditable third in the Arlington Million and a similar performance could see this prize head back to the UK. Funtastic Again and Talk Of The Nation need to be taken seriously, as does the Aidan O'Brien-trained Mountain Bear, who bounced back to form when second in the Desmond Stakes at Leopardstown.
