(# 1) AWFULLY SMART - Talented runner comes off an explosive victory over this track and distance. Runner showed a new dimension by staying much closer to the pace before giving them the slip around the far turn. Draws the rail, retains Dominguez and makes third start of the year. Lots of room for improvement.

(# 3) Evil Storm - Hails from the leading trainer (Gorham) and makes his third start of current cycle. Was sprinted in a return prep here then was sent to New York where he ran second to repeater Indian War Dance. Stalker should run well.

(# 5) Fancy Runner - Very good horse, almost always runs his race. Must like to run a lot as this is start No. 27, and he's only four-and-a-half years-old. Fits on figures and style, as he likes to stay close.
