Belmont Derby Invitational winner FAR BRIDGE (12) finished third last time out over 1m1 1/2f at Saratoga, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has an impressive four wins from 10 career starts. Best figures read very well. Multiple Group 3 winner TAWNY PORT (9) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 0.3 lengths, over 1m1f in the G3 Monmouth Stakes at this track (Turf). Should go well. Group 2 winner WEBSLINGER (10) is putting together some solid results. Finished third in the G1 Old Forester Turf Classic at Churchill Downs (Turf) two starts back then got the job done by half a length as public elect last time out over 1m3f in Listed grade at Churchill Downs (Turf). Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. Multiple Group 2 winner GET SMOKIN (3) was fresh from a break last start when beaten 1.4 lengths into fourth over 1m1/2f in the G2 Eclipse Stakes at Woodbine. Down in weight. Should be prominent from the outset. Can feature in the finish.
