Placed third last time out after a fifth two starts back, Iron Sword brings solid recent form into this and has run over today's trip; winless in his last two starts, but as the top-rated runner carrying 157 lb, he shapes as the one to beat.

Reafadda has run over today's trip and going and, rated 76 in this field of six, shapes as a genuine danger on his day, though consecutive sixth-place finishes leave him winless in recent starts and that consistency question is his main risk.
