NEW YORK STRONG (4) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 5½f at this track, beaten only half a length. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. NIMMO (2) finished 7 lengths adrift in fifth when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track (Dirt). Should come on from that last outing. Among the leading players. MITHRIDATES (3) is a 10-start maiden who wasn't far away last time when third over 5½f at this track (Turf) on June 23. Among the chances again. AVES MAKIN' WAVES (5) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 7 lengths. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
