Catch a Glimpse tops the field as the morning line favorite at odds of 2-1 for trainer Mark Casse. A chestnut daughter of City Zip, she has won five of her six starts and capped off her two-year-old season with an impressive victory in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1). This year, she is two for two and was last seen winning the Appalachian Stakes (G3) at Keeneland. Regular rider Florent Geroux will be aboard and they will break from post position ten.
