(# 1) DISCREET CAT - Former "Super" horse looks like he's ready to run his best today. Training sensationally for his second start back after the mid-east debacle. Has the rail, and would expect him to stay on it either on or just off the top. Can make a move at the half, and win it from there.

(# 2) Lewis Michael - Have always liked this runner, and he has really come into his own this year. Obviously likes the Arlington polytrack, but he is a very good horse on conventional dirt. Trainer Catalano is one of the best, and he names hot young rider Joe Talamo for this. Can take this from slightly off the pace.

(# 7) Park Avenue Ball - Another who would benefit from a swift/contested pace scenario. Stretches out off two sprint tries, and is another who is working very sharply. Six of his seven lifetime wins are over this surface.

(# 8) Corinthian - Looks to rebound from a pair of poor efforts in the Woodward at Saratoga, and the Suburban at Belmont. There is a lot of speed signed on if all go, so he may get a good trip in mid-pack from which to strike. Working extremely well at Belmont fot this.
