COPPOLA (5) last appeared when he finished second over 5½f in Listed grade at Ellis Park (Turf) on August 3. Has ability and should be right in the finish. REEF RUNNER (8) finished 4 lengths back in fourth in stakes company last time over 5f in the G1 Breeders Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar (Turf). Did win in a by half a length in the G2 Eddie D Stakes at Santa Anita (Turf). Form here at the trip is sound with five wins and seven minor placings from 13 runs. Expected to be in the finish. LITIGATION (7) has returned in good shape this campaign. Opened with a second at Keeneland (Turf) two starts back then scored by 1. 75 lengths as public elect last time out over 5½f at Churchill Downs (Turf). Mario Gutierrez scored on him last time and retains the mount. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. AND UWISH (9) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5½f at this track (Synthetic), beaten 1. 5 lengths. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race.
