ZEN MASTER (9) really dug deep to get the prize by 4 lengths three runs back at this track (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. A Bocachica who has two wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. TATE (5) finished fifth over 1m1/2f at Laurel (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on July 21. Rates highly and should take some beating. KENNY HAD A NOTION (6) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 6½f at this track (Dirt) when beaten half a length. Form this track is hard to knock with three wins from nine starts. Sure to be competitive. SUE LOVES BARBADOS (7) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6½f at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into fifth. No surprise to see him in contention.
