EXTRA ANEJO (16) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 6 lengths away in fourth over 1m1f in the G1 Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park (Dirt) on July 22. Has never been out of the placings when resuming from two tries. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Expecting a bold showing. MALIBU SPRINGS (4) displayed plenty of early toe over 1m at Keeneland (Dirt) last time and went on to score by 6 lengths. Drawn to go forward again. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. LOYAL COMPANY (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when sixth in a 1m contest at Keeneland four weeks ago. D Cannon gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. ESCAPE ARTIST (9) was in contention on the bend and finished third last time over 1m at Keeneland (Turf) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 2.25 lengths. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
