NOW AND LATER (6) was in the money two starts back at Meadowlands but couldn't back it up last time when eighth, beaten 4 lengths, at Aqueduct (Turf) over 1m3f. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. MOSAICO MAN (1) is a progressive three-year-old colt who hasn't raced since finishing second over 1m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) on September 10 which was the only run of that prep. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a lay-off in two starts. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. EZ ROLL (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fifth in a 1m1/2f contest at Aqueduct six-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. CLOUD FOREST (16) is back from a lay-off of four months. Raced once last campaign and finished third over 1m at Saratoga (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Sure to be thereabouts.
