CHASING COLTON (7) is a three-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent appearance over 6f at Saratoga (Dirt). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. SCHEDULING DUDE (2) stepped out on his debut over 6f at Saratoga (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago and finished sixth, beaten 14 lengths. Likely improver and worth following up. PANDEMIC HERO (3) is having his second run after he failed to threaten on debut last time, finishing 14 lengths from the winner in ninth over 5½f at Saratoga (Turf). Will strip fitter and can do much better. CLASSIC RUBY (8) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 10 lengths when eighth in a 5½f contest at Saratoga seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around.
