BOURBON BOSS (15) hit the frame two starts ago at Meadowlands but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 2. 5 lengths over 6f at Penn National (Dirt). It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. KATIE'S NOTION (1) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when fifth, beaten 4. 5 lengths, over this journey in stakes class at this track (Turf). Will enjoy a drop in class so he will be hard to beat. NOAH CHANCE (11) finished sixth last time out over 5½f at this track, beaten 5. 5 lengths. Has a win and four placings at this journey from eight starts. Worth plenty of thought. FREESTANDING (6) won at this track (Turf) two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1m at this track (Turf). Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
