(# 8) DELTA PARK - Scratched out of a race last week when trainer Mike Trombetta went with his entry-mate, who just missed at 16-1. Gelding has some ability and was beaten five lengths by Marcavelly as a two-year-old in a stakes at Monmouth. Ran in seasonal debut in a "key" race at Delaware against a pretty salty group. This is a good spot for him.

(# 1) Any Minute Now - Getting consistent results in performance and numbers. Up-close running style fits well here. Contessa pulled out all the strings at Belmont to win the trainer title, is finding the going very tough here.

(# 2) Loushe - Draws the hedge, numbers are improving and trainer Margolis thinks the time is right for a stretch-out.

(# 6) Russian Affair - Nice try setting the pace at Colonial in last, hanging on to finish a fine second. Numbers on the grass are good, and assume he'll be the pace-setter.
