CELESTIAL MOON (5) started at 4/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 2.25 lengths at Parx (Dirt) over 1m. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. GUN IT (1) was ridden quietly then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Has a decent record at this track. Leading contender. CLASSIC LEGACY (4) lines up for the first time since August 7. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 6½f at Gulfstream Park. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. SEEKING UNITY (3) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 5 lengths, after a win at Saratoga at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
