I think Rosario will be forced to take her back early and come with one run, maybe it'll be enough.

I also think the less heralded of the Pletcher's Skyfall, deserves a look. Her pedigree is turf and her dam is a half to a couple nice turf runners. You know she'll be taken back with Leparoux riding in a race that might collapse.

Keep an eye on what happens the race before if you like Da Mi Basia Mille. The horse who was third in her maiden win is back in an equally head scratching maiden race.

I like Oscar Party too. I thought Da Mi Basia Mille's win was heavily pace-aided and the fact that Citizen Emma came back to run so poorly is not a great sign.
