No. 2 Jimmythetooth (6-1) is a New York-bred colt with decent turf-sprint form. He stalked the pace and finished a clear third in his bow, and he added blinkers and was clearly second best in his second start. He set the pace and kept on going in his maiden win at Saratoga last time. He should be forwardly placed in a race with a murky pace scenario. 

No. 5 Good Lord Lorrie (2-1) looked good in the stretch in his debut maiden victory at Saratoga on Aug. 12. He could easily run these down under Jose Ortiz. 

No. 7 Hedwig (5-2) stalked and scored in his sharp turf-sprint bow at Ellis Park, and the show finisher was a next-out winner. He can compete here if able to run two alike. 

No. 9 Bledsoe (9-2) has not been seen since scoring as the strong favorite in his dirt-sprint bow at Keeneland in the spring. Joel Rosario rides back, and his turf pedigree is solid. 

No. 1 Please Advise (15-1) removes blinkers for George Weaver. He won his debut in a productive race, and he misfired in his last two stakes starts.
