Group 1 placegetter OUTADORE (6) did a great job to score by a nose over this course and distance last time out to build on a solid when resuming result. Likely to be there at the finish again. CLEAR THE AIR (4) ran below expectations last time at Saratoga (Turf), finishing tenth and beaten 7 lengths starting at 9/2. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. COUNTERSTRIKE (8) was thereabouts two starts ago before a disappointing eighth most recently over 5½f at this track (Turf). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be competitive. B D VALESKI (7) was beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth in a 5½f contest at this track four weeks ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
