Caught the eye when 3rd last time at this track and gets a favourable alley. One for your trifecta.

Started $23.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 4th last time at Saratoga and was a debutant last start. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Looks highly doubtful.

First run back from a break of 330 weeks. Faded to finish 8th last start at Middleburg but was on debut last time. Should race on the speed. Lines up against a competitive field.

Started at $6.50 and looked outclassed when 12th last time at Saratoga but having second race start. Recent form of the stable is strong and stepping up in trip. Needs to find a lot more.
