Unbridled Daddy headlines the field as the morning line favorite at odds of 5-2 for trainer Todd Pletcher. A dark bay son of Scat Daddy, he has been on the board in three of his five starts and is trying to earn his third career victory. He made his sophomore debut a winning one last time out with a victory against optional claiming competition at Gulfstream Park and will be stepping back up to stakes company. Manuel Franco will be aboard and they will break from post position seven.
Second choice at morning line odds of 3-1 is Highland Sky for trainer Barclay Tagg. A dark bay son of Sky Mesa, he has been on the board in two of his four starts and is trying to notch his second win. He returned off of a five-month layoff last time out and was second in a minor stakes race at Gulfstream Park. Luis Saez will be in the irons and they will break from post position two.
Also in the field at morning line odds of 5-1 is Mighty Mo for trainer Bill Mott. From the first crop of champion Uncle Mo, he was purchased for $160,000 as a juvenile and is stepping up to stakes company for the first time. He broke his maiden in his second career start off of a seven-month layoff and has been training steadily since that win. Junior Alvarado has the mount from post five.
