HIGGINS BOAT (5) scored last start by 0. 1 lengths at this track (Turf) over 1m1/2f. Has a strong record this course, scoring at three of five starts. Sure to be there at the business end. CHASING LIBERTY (9) is back from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Turned in a fair effort in the G1 Franklin-Simpson Stakes at Kentucky (Turf) over 6½f at his only run last prep, finishing fifth and beaten 2. 5 lengths. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Expected to be in the finish. NEAT (3) has not appeared since he finished tenth over 1m in the G1 Fourstardave Handicap at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) on August 2. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. POINT PROVEN (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
