SPIRIT OF NEW YORK (1) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a two time winner including last start when scoring by half a length over 6f in Listed grade at this track (Turf). Won only start here and expected to go close. CAROLINE ST BEAT (5) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1m1/2f at Saratoga (Turf) three months ago and has not raced since. Looks promising and can measure up again. TRUMAN'S COMMANDER (2) showed good speed and led for much of the way before fading to finish eighth, beaten 4. 5 lengths, over 1m1/2f here last time. Takes on much easier opposition this time. Winning claims on best figures. TOP PLAYER (11) broke his maiden last start over 7f at this track (Dirt), scoring by 1. 3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Ricardo Santana Jr was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. One of the likely contenders despite the step up in grade.
