AFTERNOON HEAT (8) settled well back last time out then found the line strongly to finish 5.5 lengths away in fifth over 6f at Saratoga (Dirt). Capable of overwhelming this field late in proceedings. EMERALD FOREST (7) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest seventh at Saratoga (Dirt) over 6f. Open to improvement and is among the chances. Multiple Group 3 placegetter BOURBON CALLING (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at Saratoga, beaten 16 lengths into seventh. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. THANK YOU JON (5) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 7f at Saratoga. Finds a nice race and can atone.
