(# 5) TEE WITH THE TIGER - Appears to be the horse to beat here. Had a bit of a troubled trip in a sprint over this course on August 9. Has back figures that are as good as these can run, and in this field on the stretch-out he should be very close to the top the whole way.

(# 2) Brian's Cat Can Do - Defeated the top pick by a length in latest race. Has improved with the switch to the grass and may be much more fit now off of a pair of races here to try a distance again.

(# 1) Sky Dragon - He probably faced a better field in last than he meets today. However he may need to be a little closer to the pace or others may have first run on him.

(# 3) Cardiff Road - Nice race against "open" maidens at Colonial two back. Encouraging that he stayed in the nine-furlong off-the-turf event last out, as he may have picked up valuable conditioning.
