BEMIS (1) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Lindsay Schultz stable. Hasn't raced since finishing in the placings at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) seven months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Leading prospect. BRIGHT SKITTLE (6) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on September 7 2025, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1308m at Kentucky (Turf). Strong chance while fresh. QUENTIN B (4) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths over 1207m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. DARK FORCE (5) has not raced since his debut on August 13 over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt) when he finished seventh, beaten 15 lengths. Should be thereabouts.
