FEDERAL JUDGE (1) led throughout last time over 6½f at Saratoga (Dirt) and scored a comfortable win. Can push forward again here and expected to feature. COMEDY TOWN (5) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 1.75 lengths last time out over 7f at Listed level at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to figure in the finish. MY BUDDY B (3) scored last start in stakes class at Parx (Dirt) to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Tougher assignment this time but he should be very competitive. Alfred G Vanderbilt Handicap winner NAKATOMI (4) went to the paddock after scoring at his only appearance last prep ten weeks ago over 6f in the G1 Alfred G Vanderbilt Handicap at Saratoga (Dirt). Good record at this journey with two wins and seven minor placings from 10 starts and cannot be taken lightly.
