1a Sky Hosoya(L) 1-5-x No Rider Pletcher 118 8-1

Believe In A. P. notched sizzling late pace figure when a tough-trip third in last; three sharp works in the interim seals the deal. Arch Support defeated top selection when a determined, front-running winner on July 30; obvious danger. Pleine Forme made sustained rally to win debut and hails from potent turf stable.

10 Winthrop House(L) 2-1-2 Garcia Rice 120 7-2

Kingdale Ocean gets rider upgrade after doing the dirty work up front in common Aug. 13 dash; best price potential of the contenders. Sly lacked room in the stretch when third in blanket photo in same last race as top selection; dangerous. Winthrop House and Matt's A Giant were two-one, respectively on Aug. 13; neither would shock.

11 Tommasi(L) 4-3-5 Cohen Jacobson 123 5-1

Stream Of Gold was pace and trip compromised in last and now makes third start since 14-month layoff. The Roundhouse packs solid closing kick and owns fast figures; big-time player on any footing. Cinder Cone is riding a four-race winning streak; must consider. Eldoktori's speed must be respected; tricky nightcap.
