BISHOPS BAY (5) finished second over 1m in the G3 Salvator Mile Stakes at this track (Dirt) at his last run on June 13. Has a strong record when fresh, claiming four wins from seven runs and was in the money in his last when resuming run, expected to go well. STARS AND STRIPES (4) broke through for a win last start when second up from a lay-off, scoring by 0. 1 lengths over 1m6f in stakes class at Saratoga (Dirt). Unbeaten in two starts at the third run in so he is among the winning hopes. CHUNK OF GOLD (2) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second when resuming last time out over 1m1/2f at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. EAST AVENUE (1) returns after a lay-off of nine weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1m at Oaklawn Park. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
