(# 6) LEVY LIGHT - Broke his maiden two back at this distance in impressive fashion. Tried much better on the grass in first try against winners. Had a wide trip and did well under the circumstances. Drops to $10K and moves back to the dirt. Very tough to beat.

(# 8) Rhapsody in Purple - Win candidate did well on the stretch-out in last, his third off a layoff, and first after two sprint preps. Fits on all accounts, and his speed is his biggest plus.

(# 3) Palm Bay - Decent effort in last, finishing third for this tag in third try against winners. Ability to rate and pass some make him a late threat.

(# 1) Universaltour - Broke his maiden in start No. 13 in mid-August. Has been on the sidelines since, as he had 10 starts already this year. Rest may have done him some good. Has a habit of breaking late. May get one of the minor awards.
