HIGGINS BOAT (3) is back from a break of six months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when fifth over 1m1/2f in stakes class at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf). Should park just off the speed. Will play a major role. FOLIGNO (1) finished 4 lengths away from the winner in third last start at this track (Turf) over 1m1/2f Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from four starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Likely to feature. OUT OF DEDUCTIONS (7) ran below expectations when fresh from a lay-off at Churchill Downs (Turf) over 1m1f last time, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths. Has the class to take care of this field. ST ARMANDS KEY (10) is back at the races for the first time since July 13. Scored over 1m at this track to launch the last campaign. Among the better hopes.
