Group 2 winner OTTOMAN FLEET (2) built on a nice second two starts back in the G2 Fort Marcy Stakes at Aqueduct (Turf) with a win as favourite over 1m1/2f in the G3 Arlington Handicap at this track (Turf) four weeks ago, getting home by one length. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to score again. Group 2 placegetter WIN FOR THE MONEY (5) was an impressive when resuming winner last time out in an easier race over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park (Turf), getting home by 6 lengths. Record at this trip is excellent and is among the leading chances. Group 3 placegetter CHASING THE CROWN (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1m1/2f in the G3 Arlington Handicap at this track (Turf). Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. Group 3 placegetter JOHNY'S FIREBALL (4) built on a nice third two starts back at this track (Turf) with success over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Likely to be in the finish again.
