(# 8) JOHANNESBURGAFFAIR - Probable favorite ran fine second last time out despite being bumped at the break. Blinkers were added for that race and he continued on well. Good post and great half mile work for this.

(# 5) Bright Illusion - Improved in second start after racing greenly in debut. Don't know if it was the turf or just natural progression. Odds should be right.

(# 7) Free of Secrets - No real excuse on view when both blinkers and front bandages went on for most recent at the Meadowlands. Hood comes off here and a step forward is needed to threaten the top choice.

(# 1) Wicked Retort - Gelding by Distorted Humor moves into claiming ranks for the first time. That can only aid his chances as none of his efforts to date would win this.
