BRUDER (3) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing sixth last time out over 6f at Laurel. Reunites with Denis Vicente Araujo who has been in the money two times when aboard. Among the leading chances. BINGOOD TO KNOWYA (6) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on July 22 finishing eighth and beaten 10 lengths over 5½f at Finger Lakes (Dirt). Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. FREE DROP BACH (4) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 6f at this track, beaten only half a length. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TAPORICAL (1) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 23 lengths into fifth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
