In depth
Verdict
Classy Ruler disappointed when finding little in the homestretch here last time though still finished in front of Regal Beauty and beat Last First Kiss when runner-up before that. Sweet Devil was beaten less than a length when third on her latest outing under Flavien Prat but the leading jockey sticks with MADISON PARC today having rode the latter when a promising fourth over track and trip on her debut and the Curlin filly gets the nod. Crystal Ball is a $750,000 purchase representing powerful connections and a newcomer to keep a close eye on.
