(# 1) MIDNIGHT FLAIR - Robert Bailes trained runner has been given a bit of a freshening since throwing in a bad performance over Aqueduct's main track against tougher. Workouts since that race have been particularly fast for this lightly raced gelding. Rail draw at two turns gives him the shortest route home.

(# 5) Cruisinwithcharlie - Appears to have the most gate speed of these runners. Been sprinting in last few but has carried his front-running tactics to victory in the past.

(# 6) Critical Acclaim - Contessa ships him in from New York where he ran better race than it looks on paper. Winner from that race, Daddy Joe is former classier Paranek Stable runner. Has some races in his past that would win this.

(#'s 2 and 7) General Tanguy & Mark Your Bet - Would only use these seemingly outclassed horses if playing triples.
