ROUGH DRAFT (16) improved sharply on his ninth two starts back at Aqueduct (Turf) with a win over 5½f at this track (Turf) two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely to be there at the finish again. FUN LOVIN CRIMINAL (10) finished a 4.5 lengths fifth on turf at this track in a then followed up with a minor placing on dirt at this track over 1m1/2f three weeks ago. Has a strong record here at this journey with four wins from nine starts. A bold showing is expected. TOM HAGEN (9) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 1.3 lengths last time over 1m at this track (Turf). Sheldon Russell who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Should be involved in the finish. STREET COPPER (3) comes here off a last-start seventh, beaten 6 lengths, over 1m1f at this track. One of the main contenders.
