4^th race [Md Sp Wt, 1 1/8 mi] – (4) Presidential Power was second when he stretched out to the nine-furlong distance three weeks ago. (5) Preside earned by far the highest speed figure of the field last month at Churchill Downs. (1) Hadrian’s Wall was second in his only race of this year rallying from ninth and last at the Saratoga June meeting. (6) Collado Hueco was the 2-1 favorite last month in his only start and closed from last to get within a length of the winner.

6^th race [Clm 30000, 6F] – (3) Pair of Socks finished in the top three in a series of starter allowances, drops to the lowest claiming level of his career, and returns from an April layoff. (2) Run Classic will make his first start for a new trainer who does well at Saratoga each summer and, also, goes to a new low level. (4) Kid Billy tried the turf to no avail after seven top three finishes in starter allowance or NY-bred allowances on the dirt. (5) Factually Correct ran for $25,000 three weeks ago, finished third, and was claimed.

8^th race [Glens Falls (G2), 1 ½ mi TURF] – (5) Speed Shopper won the Bewitched (G3) at Churchill in April, then tried the very tough field in the New York (G1) in June, and gets a rider change to Irad. (1) Survie will make her first start in America showing top three finishes in Group 1, 2, and 3 races internationally. (4) Gezora won the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf last year and will make her first start for Bill Mott. (2) Storm Miami has early speed which may serve her well in this field.

9^th race [Clm 40000 N2L, 5 ½ TURF] – (8) Diliello will drop in for a tag for the first time since he broke his maiden and then ran in two allowances for NY-breds. (7) Slay Sadie Slay set the pace and finished third in a similar spot at the end of June. (1) Absolutely Hot raced in a pair of allowances at Churchill this year. (3) Tamino was claimed for $50,000 two races back when he finished third.

Best bets: Presidential Power (4^th); Pair of Socks (6^th). Best value: Speed Shopper (8^th); Diliello (9^th).
