(# 6) SNARE - Improvement shown in all four starts to date. Asmussen runner flashed improved speed in last and just failed to hang on. Can stalk if someone else wants the lead.

(# 7) Tough Bellesa - Logical contender ran well in last pair at this tag. Contessa/Dominguez runner should be involved from the start. Was beaten by four lengths by the top pick in latest.

(# 8) Supporter - Medium support at the windows in Spa. debut. Had the misfortune of drawing a smashing wire-to-wire winner (Jovanna) in debut. Light work tab since that race on Sept. 3. Barn is having a sub-par year.

(# 12) Saratoga Chance - Drops into a claimer for the first time. Has shown hints of ability while taking some money at the windows in a pair. Post is poor, but field is a bit weak.
