FATHER TJ (4) is worth thought after finishing sixth first-up over 1609m at Philadelphia last time out. MR INSTIGATOR (10) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at this track over 1609m. Something for the Multiples: PAPA JOE LOZITO (5) MASSTER BLUE (3)

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1609m, 6 days ago and two back 7th (Fr7) over 1609m at Philadelphia beaten 40 m by Sensational (1:55.30) in NW2500L5 on October 8 at $92.90. Hard to recommend him on recent form.
