Comment: He was in the money in a Grade 2 six months ago and successful five times from 19 career runs; held seventh in the Grade 1 Pegasus World Cup Turf at Gulfstream Park five months ago; an easier task than his previous race; layoff to overcome; needs to be respected; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and he has won in classy company before.

Solo Mio

Jockey: Luis Saez Trainer: David Donk Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 79-28

5/1

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 33l into eighth) in a maiden special weight at Aqueduct in April; could go close as shown he can be competitive fairly recently.

13/2

Comment: Stepped up on his last two starts but winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at eight; not beaten far at Finger Lakes four weeks ago on first run for this trainer in a maiden special weight.

Let's Get Weird

Jockey: Romero Maragh Trainer: Jena Antonucci Age/Wt: 3/8-7

14/1

Comment: Remains to be seen whether he'll be clued up enough to get off the mark - market could reveal prospects.

Nine N Four

Jockey: Lane Luzzi Trainer: Ilkay Kantarmaci Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 36344

25/1

Comment: Held when fourth of seven (muddy track) where just ahead of Kimball Union at Belmont At The Big A three weeks ago in a maiden claimer; ought to give it a shot as shown promise on occasion and didn't have the best of luck last time.

Renew The Blue

Jockey: Katie Davis Trainer: David Donk Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 97-574

33/1

Comment: Could not manage better than fourth at Aqueduct over 6f (maiden claimer) in April when just behind Nine N Four; this is competitive and others make more appeal.

33/1

Comment: Attempting to open his account at the fifth time of asking; was held in seventh last July upped to 1m in a maiden special weight; returning from a layoff here; now drops in class but there are better alternatives here.

Uncle Barrie

Jockey: Omar Moreno Hernandez Trainer: Richard Metivier Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: 67545

40/1

Comment: Yet to open his account after nine starts; not disgraced in fifth at Belmont At The Big A (muddy track) last month in a maiden claimer; drops to a $30k tag from $50k; hard to see him doing much.

Kimball Union

Jockey: Jose Gomez Trainer: Amira Chichakly Age/Wt: 3/8-7 F: -7

Comment: Finished well behind the fourth, Nine N Four with blinkers tried when beaten on his debut at Belmont At The Big A at 40-1 20 days ago; hard to see him getting off the mark second time up.
