(# 6) NAUGHTY NEW YORKER - Track was off here yesterday, so I'll assume there will be some moisture in it for this race. This horse comes into this in absolutely superb form, winning his last pair at Saratoga and here in handy fashion. Has had almost seven weeks since his last performance, and his latest pair of works indicates that he's ready to go. Enough speed signed on to help his cause.

(# 8) Indian Hawke - Last was very impressive and it came first off the Anthony Dutrow claim. Has always had ability, and in his present form and at this long one-turn distance, he may be a handful to catch.

(# 7) Building New Era - One of a pair from trainer Gary Contessa and they will race uncoupled. Capable stalker may get a good pace setup if all compete. Needs his very best effort to have a chance for the win.

(# 3) Run Red Run - Lightly raced, talented gelding has been brought up to this off of two races by trainer Tom Bush. Last was a very good win over this surface, and a move forward is a distinct possibility.
