MYSTRIX (1) was in the placings last time and beaten 4 lengths when second over 1408m in the G1 Hopeful Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt). Should be prominent from the outset. Will give a great sight. TAP OUR WAY (3) will find this a little easier than his second on debut four weeks ago, beaten 13 lengths at the end of 1408m at Saratoga (Dirt). Will benefit from that experience so he shouldn't be a maiden for long. OBLITERATED (5) faced the starter for the first time and finished sixth last start at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf) over 1710m, beaten 2.75 lengths. Expected to be right there at the business end. MYSTIK BAYOU (7) debuted with a third, beaten 15 lengths, over 1408m at Saratoga at his only appearance to date. Has solid credentials.

Comments

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at Saratoga on August 8 over 1308m, nose behind Admiralty carrying 56kg at $3.69. Second-up 2nd of 7 in the G1 Hopeful Stakes at Saratoga on September 6 over 1408m, 4 len behind The Good Life carrying 55.5kg at $7.51. Impressive of late. Right in the mix again.
