(# 4) PERFECT VOW - Very impressive allowance win off the bench for trainer Dan Peitz. Highly thought of colt is taking on some hard-hitters and giving away a lot of experience. Good test for him. He continues to train swiftly.

(# 3) Stolen Time - Dangerous opponent is in very sharp condition right now. Contessa runner has been running well the entire year (12-2-7-1). Versatile running style is a plus.

(# 7) Hurrah - Barn change to Julian Canet has turned runner around. At present he's in the best shape of his life. Stalker may get a favorable journey.

(# 5) Executive Fleet - Sprinter in very sharp form stretches out for the first time in his career. Have to think that Lopez will put him right on the lead. There are other front runners, but none as fast.
