BIG PRANKSTER (1) didn't do a bad job when fifth last start after being in contention on the bend over 5½f at Saratoga, beaten 2.25 lengths. That followed a win at Saratoga the start prior. Joel Rosario gets the best out of this three-year-old colt. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. AGGELOS THE GREAT (5) finished fourth last time out over 1m1f at Saratoga, beaten 12 lengths. This looks an ideal assignment. VETTRIANO (4) is a talented colt who was tested in tougher class last time when eighth over 7f in the G1 H Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt). Manuel Franco who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Capable of running a bold race. ACOUSTIC AVE (2) finished 3 lengths from the winner in eighth last time out over 5½f at Saratoga (Turf) on September 1. Better than last start and can feature.
