(# 4) DASHBOARD DRUMMER - Tricky little field on view, but the distance (6.5 furlongs) combined with the outside draw favor this runner. He can stalk whatever pace develops and make a run from his stalking position whenever the jockey calls upon him. Cannot afford to let the No. 2 and No. 3 runners get away too far and more importantly, the half has to be below :45.4, or those two quality rivals will win the kick down the stretch.

(# 3) Bound Notebook - His only poor races this season have been in his seasonal debut (a pretty tough affair in which Flashy Bull ran second) and a wide post (9) try at Gulfstream. Defeated a pair of very quick individuals (Rondo and Abraaj) two back, was then nostrilled by Nar in latest. Likes this surface (4-1-1-2) is lightly raced and appears to be coming into his own.

(# 2) Praying For Cash - Graded Stakes Winner (Long Branch Grade III) also ran second in the Haskell to Bluegrass Cat. Makes seasonal and four-year-old debut today. McLaughlin doesn't waste many runs, so I'll assume off his fine series of works at Saratoga, that he's ready to go.
