* Harder to handicap with European PPs I'm not used to, but from what I could glean it will be a wet day which doesn't help Ulysses -- otherwise a fast horse..even more than the favorite Enable.

* Capri is fast but a bounce candidate w. 2 weeks rest. Can stay well though.

* Order of St.George was 3rd last year but lost R. Moore to the filly Winter. Still a contender and must be included in exotics.

* Enable is a deserving favorite having won her last 5 G1 races some in emphatic fashion. The question mark is her not having faced as deep a field as this one...but she drew well in box #2 so an easy lead is expected, which may point out to another wire to wire victory. At even money, not a great bet though.

* Doha Dream said to stay well, may get a piece of this.

* Cloth of Stars one of many from the local Baffert Fabre and is said to do well on wetter conditions.

* Local-bred Zarak has quality but drew post #18.

* Another local champ Brametot has distance doubts and has gone off form in his last race.

* Others don't seem fast enough...including German and Japanese invaders.

For now I fancy Order of St. George and Cloth of Stars as the better value plays in the dangerous game of trying to beat a special favorite in Enable.

Good luck...
