Christophe Clement will saddle Summer Front as the favorite at odds of 8-5 on the morning line. A six-year-old son of War Front, he is an eight-time winner and will be trying to earn the first Grade 1 victory of his career. He has gone winless since scoring in the Ft. Lauderdale Stakes (G2) in January of 2014 and was second in his first start of this year, the Frank E. Kilrole Mile (G1). Victor Espinoza will be in the irons and they will break from post position three.
Second choice at 7-2 on the morning line is Jack Milton for trainer Todd Pletcher. A five-year-old son of War Front, he has won four of his fourteen career starts and is a two-time graded stakes winner. In his first start of the year, he finished fourth in the Canadian Turf Stakes (G3) after he returned off of a five-month layoff. Javier Castellano will be aboard and they will break from the outside post.
Also in the field at morning line odds of 4-1 is Za Approval for trainer Mark Casse. Bred and owned by Live Oak Stud, the seven-year-old gelded son of Ghostzapper has won eight times over the course of his career and is a multiple graded stakes winner. He was fourth in the Frank E. Kilroe Mile (G1) last time out at Santa Anita and will have Mike Smith back in the irons from post position six.
