TOP GUNNER (2) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 6 lengths away in third in the G3 Tom Fool Handicap at Aqueduct (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. SIMCOE (1) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 6½f at Turfway Park (Synthetic) last time. Same rider aboard and should prove tough to beat. ROLL ON BIG JOE (5) was an impressive winner last time over 6f in the G3 Palos Verdes Stakes at Santa Anita (Dirt), scoring by 4 lengths to make it two on the bounce. Good record at this journey with two wins and three minor placings from six starts and is capable of going well. OTTO THE CONQUEROR (4) comes here off a break of eight months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 7f at Ellis Park. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
