Just looked at the pp, and I think Etude is a VERY solid single here. The horse finished second in his first three and was very wide in each of those races.
Since then he has picked up three victories in a row including a nice score in the Private Terms last out against a field of ten which included one of his opponents here (Saratoga Lul).
His works for this race - 5f in 1:02 followed by a slow mile work - are exactly what he did before the Private Terms when he ran a big one.
He has demonstrated a versatile running style, and his dam (Groovy Feeling) was a G2 winner going 10f, so the stretching out to 9f may not be a problem for him.
He will probaby be odds-on so there isn't any value, but I would be surprised if he doesn't win it.
