14 Stay Tuned(L) 120 Franco 1-5-2 Englehart 10-1

Pep the Champ is training strongly and should pack amplified kick at 7 furlongs; call based on price. Sun Worshipper tallied improved final fraction when a hard-charging second in last; very dangerous. Artie Crasher gets rider upgrade after finishing ag length behind 'Worshipper' on Oct. 8; could easily close the gap.

12 Native George(L) 121 Davis 9-3-5 Grusmark 20-1

Fortunate Sky logged improved late pace figure in last and additional sixteenth should play to strength. Wrought is speedy and could prove to be a very tough customer on an unchallenged lead. A Marked Man returns to dirt and cuts back to sprint; must consider. Bad to the Roan was a much-improved second in last; developing and dangerous.
