COASTAL MISSION (8) returns from a break of six-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 1m at Aqueduct. Has a strong fresh record including three wins. Looks sure to be in the finish. NELSON AVENUE (1) hit the frame in a on turf then missed the placings on turf last time in a Listed Race at Kentucky over 1m1/4f, beaten 9 lengths. Well placed in this easier race. Top chance in this field. DILGER (4) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 2.25 lengths away in third at Saratoga (Dirt). Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. DUKE OF GLOUCESTER (3) improved sharply last time out to score by 5 lengths over 1m1/2f at Laurel (Dirt) six days ago. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
