EARL OF DASSEL (3) has not appeared since he finished sixth over 1m at Penn National (Dirt) on July 31. Comes here with definite claims. GLOBAL PRIDE (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 6f at Thistledown (Dirt) after being prominent from the outset. Should park just off the speed. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to take this out. LEND IT TEWMEY (11) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when second over 6½f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Can cross and take up a prominent position. Commendable record at this trip with a win and seven minor placings and shapes as one to consider. TIZ MARKS SPIRIT (7) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 6f contest at Monmouth Park last time out by 0.3 lengths. One of the main contenders.
