RACE 1

9. Bail OutDoesn’t win much and be wary of taking odds that are too short, but fits here and a useful return when second last out
14. Maryland MoonHad a couple of OK turf tries as a maiden and is a better horse now than he was then; connex tried to get him on the grass last out
2. MicrophoneAllowance winner has kept better company; first try since March and only second since January

RACE 2

7. Sir MickGood debut effort seriously flattered when winner returned to take Tremont Stakes at Saratoga; was well clear of rest; blinkers on and gelded
5. Shkhara FireRan on well enough after getting sawed off leaving the gate; gets blinkers
4. All the HardwaysAppears to have been training with Tremont winner Studlydoright
