HIGGINS BOAT (10) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on July 5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths over 1m1/2f in stakes class at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf). Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Expected to be in the finish. VACATION DANCE (1) bounced back last start and landed the prize by a nose over 6f at Aqueduct (Turf). Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. NEWS AT NINE (3) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish a nose away in second over 7½f at Remington Park (Turf). Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. MISTER MMMMM (9) was last at the races when he finished eighth over 5f at Listed level at Remington Park (Turf) on September 28. Has recorded three wins when when resuming from a break. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
