Good to see this race back at 11f, as they had cut it down to 9f in previous years. A lot of these are high-priced turf claimers. Frankel wheels back Sudan, who I don't think did too much running in the Jim Murray a couple of weeks ago. Plug Me In comes from the Everest Stable, which has been on fire this month out down in SoCal. Uffizi had sharp form for Mitchell at Santa Anita and has a big kick, but in claiming races. For rooting interest, I'll go with Fitz Flag, an Argentine import that usually picks up minor awards in all the turf marathons down south. He's capable of finding winning form on the class drop, as he invaded AZ last year and got the job done going a mere 7.5f. They even have a race named for him in Argentina (though it may only be an allowance race).
