FLAT ON (7) finished in the placings when a 13 length third on dirt at Saratoga in a but then disappointed on turf last time at this track over 1m1/2f when tenth, finishing 7 lengths from the winner. Hard to beat on his best form. Worth another try. FIRST OF HIS NAME (4) returns from a lay-off of ten weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when pulled up over 1m1f at Saratoga (Dirt). One of the genuine hopes in the race. FUNNY UNCLE (6) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when eighth over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) after he travelled towards the rear of the field. Should be peaking now and looks a clear threat. AWESOME EMPIRE (5) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1m1/2f at Finger Lakes (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
