The first thing that you notice in this edition of the Acibiades is the lack of turf routers. Evident that a top 5(maybe top 10) 2yo filly turf router could earn a placing here, probably much easier and more prestigious than alternative turf stakes placing.
Devotee should really benefit from having quicker opposing speed. Coa will be forced to rate just a bit off the leaders. Probably see her handle the poly and distance.
Dream Empress is kind of a 7f turf filly with moderate ability, but she can pick up some pieces here with a steady finish.
Then there is Bon Jovi Girl who looks cheap but could suck-up for a piece with a conservative ride.
The rest are sprinters.
