(# 1) SACRIFICE BUNT - Excellent try against a tough older bunch from a poor post. Winner that day went wire-to-wire, and this colt rallied late for third. Back against mostly three-year-olds, and he draws a ground-saving post. There's enough speed signed on to help his rally out.

(# 5) True Competitor - Ward-trained colt ran fairly well in his first start in almost two months in a small stakes here at this distance on August 5. Normal improvement should see him improve enough to be in the thick of this. Working well.

(# 4) Building New Era - Dangerous speed on view and runner appears to have reached a level of fitness after running at intervals earlier in his career. Can set or stalk the pace, and he is a contender for the win.

(# 3) Kong the King - Might surprise others who want the top. Lone sprint try off the layoff should have him on edge to flaunt his speed. Working well and Reynolds used to be very good on the stretch-out.
