John Brocklebank will saddle Duddubwatson as the morning line favorite at 2-1 odds. A ridgling son of Kipling, he was purchased in March for $75,000. He made his career debut in May and finished third in a blanket finish. He came back to break his maiden in a front-running effort in his second start and will be stepping up to stakes company for the first time. Joe Talamo, aboard for his two prior races, will be back in the irons from post three.

Second choice at 5-2 on the morning line is Mrazek for trainer Doug O’Neill. A homebred son of Square Eddie for Reddam Racing LLC, he was well backed as the favorite in his career debut in May at Santa Anita and delivered by 5 ¼ lengths over a field of seven rivals. He will try to make it two in a row and is scheduled to break from the rail under jockey Mario Gutierrez.
Stakes debut for Swiss Minister
Also in the field at morning line odds of 8-1 is Swiss Minister for trainer Mike Harrington. A dark bay son of Lucky Pulpit, the colt will try to win his second consecutive race after breaking his maiden in his debut.
