DEMOLITION DUKE (8) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 10 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 6½f at Kentucky, beaten a nose. Has the class to take care of this field. CIGARETTE BOAT (16) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Aqueduct (Turf) over 6f, beaten 1.5 lengths. Drawn out but going well enough to play a role. GLACIAL POWER (4) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 5½f at Keeneland (Turf) when beaten 2 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will be in this for a long way. COMMITTEE OF ONE (5) was beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth in a 5½f contest at Keeneland four weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
