(# 3) WALK THE CATWALK - Gelding pressed the pace against a better field in his last even though it was at same level he competes at today. There were several maiden special drop downs in that race and just think it was a better overall group then he faces here. Trainer Scott Schwartz has quietly put up some fine numbers this meeting. Lopez re-rides and he and the trainer are a good nine for thirty-six over the past thirteen months.

(# 7) Ski Alexis Ski - Well-bred son of Tale of the Cat takes the drop into maiden claimers today after three straight efforts against straight New York bred maidens. Chased pace from wide post in last and winner went wire to wire. Trainer Joe Lostritto adds lasix for today's race and colt has a swift work on view presumably with the drug(3 furlongs: :36,best of 16). Looks like the horse to beat.

(# 4) That'll Do - Contessa-Dominguez combination brings you colt by Freud who raced greenly in debut ( in which front bandages were on). Winner galloped by nine so colt only missed place by three lengths, despite finishing sixth. Stretches legs around two turns today and major improvement is not out of the question.
