(# 9) LHOTSE QUALITY - Has disappointed more often than not, but this is the weakest gathering I believe he has faced this season. Draws well and won't be too far off the lead as they hit the top of the stretch. He needs to avoid being floated wide for best chance at the win.

(# 3) Irving's Run - Bred top and bottom for grass he had a useful prep in an off-the-turf race last out at Belmont. Moves to the grass for trainer Bush, and makes his second start of the season. Nice drill on the turf here on July 30.

(# 2) Kid Doc - Showed good speed three back when blinkers went on. Was sent long in next without the "hood. Competed in the slop next outing. Returns to grass, goes in a sprint again and blinkers go back on.

(# 1) Brian's Cat Can Do - Contessa runner is racing fit numbers work with these, and think he'll run very well.
