(# 6) BAYOU TIMBER - Chased in the slop last out and hung on to finish third. Previous mile run at Belmont would be good enough to get the job done. Trainer George Weaver reaches out to Edgar Prado today.

(# 7) Citifest - Good effort to finish second in last over this surface. In shape runner has been very reliable for almost a whole year now. No reason to think he won't run well again.

(# 8) Run With the Lark - Will certainly be part of the pace, and probably will be in front. Moves off the inside which can only help his performance. Has been successful at middle distances in the past.

(# 9) Platinum Couple - Veteran ran deceptively well in last, a turf race here, from a very poor post (11). Has had a trio of races since coming back from a six-month layoff and appears to be headed in the right direction.
