RIGID has gone close on his last two starts including a recent second over track and trip and could finally lose his maiden tag here. He's just preferred to Hathaway, who has also been threatening to get her head in front at this track of late. Burnwynd Boy is capable of getting involved if he's in the mood, while the lightly-raced Arkaim showed a bit more last time and gets a first-time visor today. Meydan Style has shown little since winning over 7f here in June and Ad Vitam has shown no improvement for sliding down the weights.
