VIOLENT ACT (1) has not raced since his debut back on August 19 when he finished fifth over 1106m at Saratoga Turf (Turf). Capable of sharp improvement. TAMPA STORM (11) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1408m at this track, beaten only 0.1 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. ALWAYS HONEST (4) finished 1.4 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in contention on the turn over 1509m at this track, an improvement on his tenth at Saratoga the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SPEIGHTFUL STORM (3) is a nine-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Finger Lakes (Dirt) over 1106m, beaten 7 lengths. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.
