MOHTAFIL (4) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1m1/4f at this track (Synthetic) after being in the firing line all the way. Sits handy in the run. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ARTEMPUS (3) is returning from a lay-off of nine months. Finished sixth at Saratoga (Turf) over 1m4f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Timothy Hamm. One of the genuine hopes in the race. FROZEN FOUR (1) settled well back last start and never threatened when 17 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1m1/4f at this track (Synthetic). Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. VENIK (5) was beaten 11 lengths into sixth in a 7½f contest at Churchill Downs last time out. No surprise to see him in the mix.
