Chad C Brown trained 2yo by Corniche having first start and has minimal work to do from the draw. Added confidence with Manuel Franco doing the steering. Keep your eye on the market.

Jumped at $3.00 and moderate showing when 4th last time at Saratoga but honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should come to hand quickly. Has a good draw. Gets a chance against these.

Odds of $23.00 and was well beaten when 9th last start at Saratoga but was on debut last time. Will find this tough.

Was amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by over 3 1/2L last start at Saratoga. Have to respect the recent stable form. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Respect the betting.

At $5.50 looked outclassed when 7th last time at Saratoga but promising career start. Very competitive this preparation. The wide draw shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Can show up in this at odds.
