BRIEFLY (3) made a strong return from a layoff last time out in a hurdle (4950m) at this track, finishing second when partnered by today's rider Chad Bament. Fitter and expected to go on with it. LARCHMONT LASS (1) returns after three months in the paddock. Kicked off the last prep with a victory in a 4300m hurdle at this track by 1.5 lengths. Expect her to be prominent. BETHPAGE (2) returns after five months in the paddock. Kicked off the last prep with a solid second in a 4200m hurdle at Ludlow, beaten 9 lengths. Reliable jumper with three victories to her name from 10 starts. Has ability and worth including.
