(# 5) THUNDERESTIMATE - Game runner, finds a way to be in it at the finish. In fact he probably should be four-for-four, as he lost debut race by a head here as a two-year-old. Runner can fire off of any type of layoff, and is training well here for first start since July 8th. Has a nice running style, and the 1 1/8 miles will not pose a problem.

(# 6) Get Serious - All three of his races have been on the dirt, and runner has shown dramatic improvement in each one. Ran second in the Long Branch at Monmouth in first start against winners. Takes on fellow state-breds today on the surface switch.

(# 3) In The Spotlight - Owns the hedge, and should sit a good trip until they hit the far turn. Possesses some late kick, and he has already run this distance at Belmont.

(#'s 1 and 8) Solid Strike and Logic Way - "Strike" will be part of the pace scenario, while "Logic" is a stone-closer. Save with light exactas.
