3/1 morning line favorite, Cavorting, has shown brilliance in her three career wins despite running poorly in the Grade 1 Frizette and Grade 2 Davona Dale in a two-race stretch between October 2014 and February of this year. Cavorting was then idle from February to June, before returning to win the Jersey Girl Stakes June 5 at Belmont for trainer Kiaran McLaughlin. Cavorting also won the Grade 2 Adirondack at Saratoga in August 2014. The pattern will leave bettors to decide if the real Cavorting is ready to show up after working through some physical issues.
Take Charge Brandi (7/2) could be viewed as a play-against for some bettors, as the D. Wayne Lukas trainee has not raced since winning the Martha Washington Stakes January 31 at Oaklawn. The 2014 Juvenile Fillies winner has enjoyed most of her success running in route races, and looks like she would have to run faster to fit with several contenders in the field. Lukas connects with just 8% of his runners returning from layoffs greater the 180 days.
By the Moon is an intriguing item at 8/1 on the morning line for trainer Michelle Nevin. The daughter of Indian Charlie looked like a winner last out in the Grade 1 Acorn before yielding in the final strides to repeat stakes winner Curalina. By the Moon posted a 59-flat, five-furlong bullet workout July 30 at the Spa.
