(# 8) APPEALING SPEED - Looks like the speed of the speed. Coa takes over today for horse that has put back-to-back big races together in the past. Serious wire-to-wire threat.

(# 4) Debating - Stretches off a recent sprint for the Dave Jacobson barn. Trainer had a good main-track meet at Aqueduct. Steady performer may receive a good stalking trip.

(# 1a) Forli's Con Man - Part of a Contessa entry. Claimed three back. He has tired in his first pair for the new barn. May be forced into chasing the top pick.

(# 9) Jersey Giant - At one time was a steady stakes performer. Has slid down the ladder as he has gotten older (now nine). Still can run a good one, but needs some pace to close into.
