RUSSIAN REALM (15) is a talented colt who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1m1/2f at Listed level at Saratoga (Turf). Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and two minor placings from four starts. Leading contender. COURTLY BANKER (7) went fast early over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at Saratoga (Turf) last time and defied all challengers to score by 0.3 lengths. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. SLAPINTHEFACE (13) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 1m1/2f at Saratoga (Turf) last time out. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. One to consider. B D SAINTS (2) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1f at Saratoga, beaten 12 lengths into fifth. Capable of featuring prominently.
