The fifth race carries a $46,000 purse and is scheduled over approximately five furlongs on the turf at 2:28 p.m. ET. The event is for fillies and mares aged three and older and features a competitive field with several runners bringing different levels of experience. Medici Road is among the leading names on paper, arriving with a 3/2 morning-line indication and carrying 121 pounds. The Quality Road mare has the services of jockey J. Rodriguez and is trained by M. Clement. Her combination of breeding, experience and a favourable position makes her one of the runners likely to attract attention.
Candy Talking, another three-year-old, also stands out with a 3/1 indication. The daughter of Authentic will carry 116 pounds from post 8 and has J. A. Hernandez aboard for trainer M. Robertson. Baby Blocks, listed at 5/1, brings further interest, while Honorable Chill, Parametric and Ballycurrin add depth to the field. Afterneath, Queen’s Wreath and Azure Lady complete the main group, while several additional runners are listed as also-eligible. With the turf course scheduled at a five-furlong distance and the rail positioned 26 feet out, positioning and early pace could be important factors.
