(# 7) FREEDOM ISN'T FREE - Lands in a nice spot and draws a good post for his style. It's also encouraging that he is making his fourth consecutive start without needing a break, as he's had to in the past. Drops to his lowest level ever and it's his race to lose.

(# 4) Royal Attire - Lightly-raced gelding by Awesome Again, cuts back in distance after winning at a mile here on June 20. Has some speed and should be involved with the pace. This marks his first try at six furlongs today. Gelding will face some inside and outside pressure here.

(# 2) Specchio - Has run a series of steady, competitive races since coming back into action after seven months on the sidelines. Fits at this level well, owns some tactical zip and has a nifty four-furlong drill at Saratoga on the training track there on July 3.
