(# 1) MINNAMANA - Steady, consistent runner has a perfect running style for this event and the post to do it from. Has good positional speed, and will settle about 3-4 lengths from the lead as they go down the back-stretch. Will bid approaching the stretch, and if he's good enough he will prevail late.

(# 7) Bon Marie - Consistent pace-setting pace-prompting type, almost always runs his race. Generally has run against a bit lower, but his speed makes him dangerous in a race with many plodding types.

(# 5) Sabre Baby - Poor journey in first try at this meeting on August 2. Wide the entire race, he is more than capable against this kind, and think he'll rebound with a top effort today.

(# 9) Miracle Man - Sprinted in seasonal debut at Belmont, trainer Mark Hennig sends runner long in start #2. Has faced tougher most of his career.
