An overflow field of 12 will endure the 5 1/2-furlong turf test, and I think the event is ripe for an upset with question marks surrounding the favorites. The Brian Lynch-conditioner Rockstar Ro comes in fresh and races as a gelding for the initial time. By Gemologist, the talented three-year-old earned a lifetime best Brisnet Speed figure in his most recent outing, an...
